    A nice bright flower. Are they quite common in the Mumbai area?

    This is where I found mimosa flowers.

    I think the red/pink mimosa flowers look like Dwarf Powder Puff but the foilage is different.
    I've taken photos of all the flowers in the garden area of my complex in Navi Mumbai.

    I think I know this plant, although we don't have it in Moscow. Very nice one.

    And thank you for visiting my blog.
