I used to think this was called a Bird of Paradise tree, but now after googling it I'm not so sure. Even without a definite name, its drying leaves are pretty, though.

At first glance I thought I was looking at rattle snake rattlers! Nice picture; but then you always post nice pictures. You are so good.
I can see why this could be called the Bird of Paradise tree as the leaves look very much like the plumes of the bird. Again, I have never seen anything like this.
Are you thinking of the Mimosa? We used to call it the Bird of Paradise. Remember when I took a picture of you hanging upside down from one and later when I looked at the picture and said "Oh the bird of paradise" and you thought I meant you? Well, you still are my Bird of Paradise :)
Bobbie, what a lovely story. Debi, "bird of paradise" suits you so well...
Very beautiful, whatever its name is. Very delicate and tender looking. As if it could crumble in your hand. That's how things look here when they are frosted over, I assume you get frost there as well?
