Mimosas are flowering plants belonging to the Mimosaceae family, known for their delicate, fluffy blooms. The most recognized species is Mimosa pudica, commonly called the sensitive plant, which reacts to touch by folding its leaves. These plants thrive in tropical and subtropical regions, often found in gardens and landscapes. Mimosas typically produce pink or white flowers that attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. They are also known for their fern-like foliage, which adds a unique texture to gardens. Some species can be invasive, so it's essential to manage their growth in non-native areas.
