Throughout all our wanderings and misadventures across the countryside we always come across beautiful specimens of plants, fruits, flowers and thorns like this plant which is a variety of mimosa, a relative of blackberries, and can be found anywhere in vacant lots and poorly drained land. Here I share it with you — it’s a beautiful plant with thorns that surround its stems and leaves, which makes an encounter with it a bit painful, especially when it comes into contact with your skin.
You can be walking along peacefully and not be aware of the pain it’s capable of causing until it’s too late and you’ve already been stripped of your peace and tranquility, and you feel the itching, burning and pain in your skin that spreads through your whole body because it’s very intense.
The plant can grow to approximately 2 meters tall, but usually it blends in very well across the countryside. You won’t notice it because it’s like a beautiful wild plant growing, but of course all wild plants have their function and that is to be a nitrogen fixer.
If you look at it simply, its root is expansive and has multiple gripping points, which makes it very beautiful.
And what can I say about its beautiful flowers — they’re a round pinkish ball. Look at its first photo and you’ll realize that it’s a real treasure.
Thanks for coming. Translation to English using a translator, own photos.
