Morning Walk To The Acacia Tree and Its Heavenly Fragrance

Morning Walk To The Acacia Tree on April 6, 2010.

 

Today, Sunday February 22nd, 2015, i noted that many of Tucson's Acacias are blooming. This particular, rather large, tree, is a late bloomer. It's flowers have just begun to open a wee bit I intend to check on its status daily...

 

Acacia farnesiana

_________________________________________________

* The species classification of this tree is in dispute. Some authorities maintain that the correct epithet is A. farnesiana and consider A. smallii and A. minuta to be synonyms. Other references describe A. minuta/A. smallii as sub-species of A. farnesiana.
