This Mimosa Tree blossom is not only an attraction to Butterflies and Hummingbirds, but it is so delicate and so colorful and it’s like a Mini – fireworks display – nothing short of an explosion of color! this tree came as a volunteer and was not even noticed for a few years…......my friend Bonnie Barry wrote a story once about a volunteer Mimosa Tree and has graciously consented to my using it along with this image….Bonnie, Thank you!!! You can check her works by just typing in Miracles in the search field. / / ____ Joyce, I thought you might like this little story I wrote years ago about a mimosa I loved. All the best, Bonnie Mimosa While I was watering the wilted caladiums near my angel statue, I looked up and noticed the mimosa in all its glory. Here I was working diligently to make the caladiums grow, yet there it stood, radiant without human effort. How many other plants had I set in this same spot through the years? The angel’s trumpet . . . impatiens . . . . those unusual little two-tone flowers whose names I can’t remember. All of them curled up and died. The soil was awful here; roots were knotted through the area; the trees sapped all the moisture. I’d wasted many a dollar on this spot, yet there was the mimosa looking down on me in gentle amusement. I had not planted the mimosa. I had never tilled the soil for it. I had not even watered it through the three-year drought. Yet three years ago it had been little more than a naked stick poking from the ground. The only reason it stayed put was that it was too close to the hurricane fence for Tommy to lop it as he mowed. The mimosa was a gift, a pure gift from God. I couldn’t claim any part in its flourishing. Either God’s wind had blown its seed to this corner or God’s birds had unwittingly deposited it. Only the miracle of nature could have made it grow like this without human care or cultivation. Yet now it produced all the color and vibrancy, all the grace and beauty that I had tried to achieve through the years with no success at all. / How like my life, I thought. Sometimes all my strained efforts are fruitless, yet in the midst of the sterility, God drops a single word, a single thought, and everything is suddenly alive and beautiful. Apart from Him, I can do nothing, yet I work like a Trojan to do it anyway. Maybe the gifts are rewards for my efforts, and maybe they are just freely given out of pure love. Who knows? Whatever the reason, the Source is undeniable. ___ “Every good gift and every perfect endowment comes from the Father of Lights,” (James 1:17) the mimosa whispers to me in gentle and amused remembrance. / __ / All The Materials Contained May Not Be Reproduced, Copied, Edited, Published, Transmitted Or Uploaded In Any Way Without My Permission.

Mimosa
by Ivy IzzardMore Fairies

We transplanted this in our area of the world where its not seen as hardy.. We must have mulched it and cared for it well. Its one of the biggest anyone has seen growing in this area. Its was planted around 1990. When it blooms by the many thousands for a good month. In the morning and eve when there is a slight breeze it smells like you are walking in an enchanted sweetness as if you were in a giant rose bud.. Down in the warmer southern regions they grow like weeds.. Not here.

I think Kathy caught a nice bit of light here.. The smell of these early in the morning are something like a cross between a med sweet rose and honeysuckle .. They attract Butterfly’s and Humming Birds and Bee’s of all sorts.. I look forward to this time of year when they bloom by the thousands.. Also they share the time of year with the Lotus which bloom and are close by and almost the same colors.. She did a fine job here.. A Wonderful Flower For The Wall

So this is bits and pieces of a number of things. First, the face is from my drawing “Sudden Departure” except I added some embellishing. The background is actually a lavender and gold forest I, gulp, painted – (i rarely go there). Of course, for this version I turned it DARK. / The “wings” are two little silk leaves I had here. Richard Bone, the wonderful ambient artist/composer inspired this as he used my drawing for an album cover last year. He needed something dark for the inside of the cd, so I obliged…

I love to steal from myself. The face/figure is from my pencil drawing “Sudden Departure” – embellished of course. The background nest is from my drawing, “Candescence Part II”. The ‘wings’ are beat up silk leaves I found in my crazy closet. (I really should take a pic. People shriek when I open it.) Here are some examples of the many available items:

This is just an underexposed image of Mimosa blossoms on a breezy evening in the park, but to me it looks like pink and yellow fireworks. (Since it was getting dark, I used the “night shot” setting on my Canon Powershot camera.) Featured in: ! #1 ARTISTS OF REDBUBBLE ! Aug.29, 2009 /
