I have this tree in my backyard that I see everywhere I go, they make these really nice pink pom-pom like flowers during the summer. For the life of me I can't remember what they're called. When I was little my dad would call them dinosaur trees, since they may have been around that long, but I can't remember.

That looks like a silk tree, Alibizia sp.

Very nice trees that close their leaves at night!

Nah, people seem to get those 2 confused. It's leaves only close at night, while mimosa close on touch.

It looks like a Mimosa tree. But the flowers seem different. And my question is, do they grow that big? I want one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A palm grows much differently. It's a more primitive plant.

Maybe if you stroke one of the leaves and then it folds, then you would know it's a mimosa. But mimosa plants lose their sensitivity after a while.

Mine seem to be sensitive until the leaves yellow and die.

look like mimosa to me

Release all the frustration
Send them to the moon
With the power of intention
Bring in the fire
The light from the sun
As you get lighter above you will rise

I found a lot of plants that looked like the mimosa. I mean a lot! I go and touch them, but they don't move...
