Whimsy Day



Can't seem to remember "bloomday" memes.
Either too late,too busy or something.
Tried "Wednesday Whimsy" but can't seem to stick to that !
So here's my...oh, lets call it a "Whimsy Day" meme,
which will be posted when ever the heck I think of it.
Who knows what I'll do ?!!!!

Here's a quiz that may be fun...
Can you name me ?


This flower is from a tree, but 2 years ago it looked like a common 3 foot plant
in my yard which I thought was wild or maybe just a weed.
Hint...it can be invasive in the southwest.
It really had me puzzled...and now it's 15 feet tall with these flowers.


ANSWER







Hint...just add some broccoli, olive oil,garlic and dried leaf oregano for a yummy side dish or meal.

  1. I didn't look inside the envelope on the first one because living here in the south, I'd have to say it's what we call a mimosa tree.

    Without looking at the answer on the second one, those look like squash blossoms to me. In France, I've eaten quite a few zucchini blossoms.

    PS I have beautiful hyacinth bean vines all over my fence! The tall orange cosmos is gorgeous, too! Thanks for the seeds

  2. I recognized it right away just like Cameron. It is also invasive here in the southeast. A pretty tree and fast grower for sure! Cute envelopes.

  3. A fun post....
    would the tree also be known as a powder puff tree, or am I getting muddled??

  6. I don't think I've ever seen a Mimosa tree here, I love the leaves on it.
    I wish I would've planted squash, at least I've found a zucchini growing in the garden.

  7. It's been so long since I've seen a mimosa tree. I miss not being able to grow them.

    Catherine,
    Hubby has zucchini growing somewhere. For some reason I'm not crazy about it.

    Marnie,
    Never would have guessed it could get so big in two years. Just noticed a neighbor has a perfect looking one in their front yard.

  9. That's funny -- I just posted a pic about the invasive Mimosa Silk Tree, and here you did, too! They are all over the woods in Oklahoma, where I just went camping last week.

  10. Patsi, I was talked out of planting a mimosa from the nursery(!) because it's a messy tree and short lived here..? but I've always loved it when I see it in bloom. Yeah, memes are hard to keep to...

    Happy gardening, Pamela
