Mimosa Anyone?

You were probably thinking this-

What I meant was this-

The Mimosa trees are in full bloom in Augusta GA right now. 

The tropical look of the deciduous Mimosa and the peachy/pink puffy blooms may make you think about snatching a seed pod and growing one for your back yard. Mimosa is drought tolerant and grows best in zones 6 through 10. 

Drop that seed pod if you have allergies. Mimosa flowers produce lots of pollen which can cause a sinus allergy or an eye allergy. So, if you are sneezy or have itchy, runny eyes when around the Mimosa, you might just want to break out the OJ  & Veuve...forget the tree!
