Mimosa Blog

Mimosa is collected and packaged, as a rule, at night, when it is cool, otherwise the acacia may lose its presentation. Each layer of branches is covered with paper so that they do not wrinkle, then boxes are packed and transported by trucks. One hundred kilograms can be stuffed into such a machine.
At the border, the price of a flower begins to rise.

The main supplier of mimosa (silver acacia) to the Russian market is Abkhazia.
Mimosa in Abkhazia grows like a w**d, does not require special care. It is collected quite simply: they are cut with secateurs into medium and large branches, and then these branches are sold by weight. In the box that goes to Russia - 7 kilograms.

The genus name comes from the Greek word mimos - "mim", "actor" and reflects the plant's ability to "play". But only a few species show their characteristic reaction to touch, among them - everyone's favorite bashful mimosa.

In fact, what we used to call “mimosa” is officially considered a silver acacia in the Russian classification.

There is another name for it - Australian acacia, it was brought from Australia.
