I have no idea what this plant is, but its yellow puffy blooms sure look like mimosa. Yet, the leaves don’t look like the leaves of a mimosa bush. So if you know what it is, let me know.
These ma-planted bushes bloom every year around January/February in my area. I love how they bring bright colors to the winter months. They bloom around the same time some California wildflowers start popping up, usually on the side of the San Diego freeways. These “mimosa” flowers are a challenge to photograph and I think I’ll have to spend more time next year to get the photos I really want. I probably have to get a lot closer to show the puffiness of the yellow flowers, as well as use a bright blue sky to contrast the yellow blooms. Something I’m looking forward to do in a few months!
What do you think of these and how would you like to see them photographed?

Very pretty, but they look like the type of flower that would make one sneeze. 🙂
And… I think you’re right! Because I sneeze every time that stuff starts blowing off in the wind. If you don’t have allergies, San Diego is an awesome place to develop some. And I speak from experience!
Yes, Ohio specializes in that as well. Luckily I don’t suffer too much. Only when I get around really tree-dense areas and lilacs. 🙂
I feel sorry for you, having to avoid lilacs. 😦
