the not so common yellow mimosa




































the more common lilac pink mimosa


i came across this less common yellow mimosa during one of my walks at neo tiew lane 2 (the scenic place i blogged about in february) in lim chu kang.

adults are always so keen to show children why this plant is also called the 'touch-me-not'. they touch or shake the plant to watch the fern-like leaves fold and then come back to the same plant some time later to show the kids that the same leaves have unfolded.
