    ohhh man i remember the smell of mimosa. So so sweet, until its ready to die,,lol. I used to just stand under mine with a cup of coffee and just smell. beautiful.

    That mullein can be dried and smoke for lung problems,,,(is that an oxymoron,,lol). All the rest look very very nice and healthy. Lucky you!!

    Aaah, lovely blooms! I really like your colourful mums. I've seen blooming mimosa but that was long ago.

    I've never seen flowering mimosa and would love to stand under it and find out just how good its scent is. Your mini mums are really lovely. I see you managed to capture a spider in your photograph of the lantana. :stew2:

    GREAT Mimosa pic, they grow wild here so when you are driving they look like big poofy pink trees. Your Datura looks almost ghost like at night, really cool. And Mullins are just always fun to look at. :D

    Oh I love moss rose! In the apartment complex where I used to live (in my single digit years lol), there was a person who grew it and it came outside their fence, and I never knew the name of it till two years ago :)
    All the other plants are pretty too of course ;)

    The mimosa is a beautiful tree and it grows wild too here.I do love its smell .Biita how do you smoke it and how do you use it.My mom told me it had medicinal purposes but she could not remember what or how.The little mums really bloom their little hearts out.I have a wonderful pink that will bloom soon.The Datura smells so good at night when their in bloom.The gardenia and Daturas are both blooming and my yard smells heavenly.
