Mimosa and Acacia

I’m thinking again of the differences between acacia and mimosa, since the acacia is blooming in the driveway—in fact beginning to fade.

I see I forgot to mention the celebratory mimosa two years ago when I was mulling on the name.  Why not make some now, to celebrate the weekend, to belatedly celebrate Mardi Gras?
