Your grandchildren are precious! And the Acacia. . . I have never seen anything like that! I don’t think we have them here? (I am getting ready to look it up! )

Lovely to hear from you Dixie! Yes the boys are very precious! The Acacia is native to Australia, maybe it’s too cold where you are? There are many that are not as beautiful as this one, but there are other interesting ones too. 🙂

The children are charming, but it is the mimosa that has me bowled over. i tried to grow it here without success.

Here the Acacias are fast growers, but many only last about 15 years. There are some lovely ones, Sorry that you didn’t find it easy Hilary.

Barbara, there’s a vast array of Acacias in Australia, one flowering every day of the year, I’m told! Some have marvellous shaped flowers but often rather weak or sickly colour.
