After the wicked way winter started, I was in desperate need of some flower therapy. Fortunately, First State Comic Con was only 20 minutes away from Longwood Gardens, so Ogre took me there for lunch last Sunday. We had a marvelous meal at The Terrace Café, then strolled around the conservatory before heading back to the comic convention.
I posted a profile photo at facebook.com/Aquariann, peering at this fluffy flower. It was my first time meeting this type of adorable blossom, so all I knew about it came from the plaque beside it that read: Scarlet Powder-Puff-Tree, Calliandra haematocephala, Bean Family, Bolivia. My friends were quick to point out that it was from a Mimosa tree, which is also a fun name to say.
Thank you for featuring my pink flowers on the left. I understand they are a kind of cherry blossom. Not that long until May!
ReplyDeleteAs for the mimosa flower at Longwood, I was there last year and you are so lucky to live near there. Around here, mimosa trees bloom in late July.
