Mimosa

Mimosa is a genus of flowering plants known for their delicate, fern-like leaves and vibrant, fluffy blossoms. The most well-known species is Mimosa pudica, often called the "sensitive plant" due to its unique ability to fold its leaves when touched or disturbed. Mimosas are typically found in tropical and subtropical regions and are often admired for their ornamental value. Some species also have medicinal uses in traditional practices. Another popular association is with the Mimosa tree (Albizia julibrissin), which produces fragrant, pink pom-pom-like flowers.
