Field Notes

Description:

Oh it does look like the plants ya'll mentioned! Here we have Mimosa trees, but the blooms are hot pink and wispy, no thorns. To me the leaves looked like our locust trees, which do have monstrous thorns.

Actually, this looks like a sensitive plant (sometimes called sensitive briar or even mimosa) as it looks like some of the stems from those leaves are attached to the flowers. Here in FL, we have one that grows like that and has the thorns on the stems that I see there in the photo and it's Mimosa quadrivalvis
