  1. When I was a kid we called the mimosa flowers "hippie heads." A related tree which is common here in south Florida is the Poinciana, AKA "Flamboyant." Its seed pods are sometimes over 2 feet long. They contain poisonous alkaloids and cyanide. The eagles put them in their nest, possibly to deter parasites.

    1. Two feet long! Wow!
      And I didn't realize they contained potentially poisonous substances - not sure if our variety does as well. Also read the comment from Bhavesh Chhatbar below - his comment is also interesting.

  3. Wow! Amazing to see these flowers in some other part of the world! In our childhood, we used to call them Kaurav-Pandav based on an ancient Indian story where there were 100 brothers called Kauravs and their 5 cousins called Pandavs. The flowers seem to have hundred thread-like leaves and 5 filaments.

    It's one of my favorite trees! Perhaps it's called Rain Tree, which I guess is a national tree of some South-East Asian country! The tree grows huge!

  8. What a pretty and feathery looking flower. I've never seen or heard of it before. Enjoyed seeing it and the droplets add as it looks like glitter. Very nice.
