~ Bloomin' Tuesday ~

Here's what's bloomin' this week:
This is the Mimosa tree, with huge fern-like leaves that sway in the breeze...
This year it's just covered with blooms (pictured above)..aren't they unique!

This flower is called "spotted bellflower" I bought this perennial last year, and I love the two inch lavender bells.
I have a large container of Zinnias on the patio. They are no work at all and continually bloom all summer...

The Mimosa is unsual and very pretty. The bloom reminds me of Pink Fairy Duster, which has the same structure.

My mother in law had a Mimosa tree in the yard of her previous house. Sadly the new owners cut it down. I think I planted Zinnias. Mine don't look as good as yours. Happy Bloomin' Tuesday!
