Mimosa borealis is a native here in Texas. A spreading shrub, it likes limstone soils and is drought-tolerant. In spring, after the foliage returns, it blooms, with many fluffy pink blooms. It has tiny "catclaws" that may catch at you or your clothes if you brush up against the plant. I love it when it's blooming!

This is so beautiful in bloom it is difficult to resist. Pictures do not do it justice. It is growing in rocky sand w/ clay/rock base and has held up admirably during very long drought and weeks of 100+. A&M says it can be grazed by livestock, but suffers from overgrazing.
