The banks of the valley were covered in Mimosa all out in full bloom and the air was heavy with their perfume. We do have snowdrops out but our own Mimosa (Acacia Dealbata) grown from Seeds brought back from Australia is looking a little battered following the recent wintry weather. The best specimen is 15 feet but has yet to flower. Does anyone know at what age they flower?
