The Mimosa Tree

Exotic beauty enthralls Smooth grey bark on slender trunk Crowned by a lush canopy Verdant fern-like leaves Adorned by pink puffs of fluff Their fragrance lures butterflies Bees and hummingbirds hover Truly delightful 2/12/12 Kim Merryman For Russell Sivey's Trees Everywhere contest
