revclaus.... It is not a mimosa, it is a Flamboyant. They are a cousin to the mimosa. I don't know if they spread as readily. They bloom in colors of yellow and red and I 've seen them in full bloom in the Keys, Cocoa beach, and old growth specimens on Captiva Island. I was told they were the national tree of Cuba and profuse there but research showed the Royal Palm as the national tree. This is a miniature cultivar that we are going to use as a container planting in our tropical garden (we are in a temperate zone).
