Hello fellow members, I have a question about the mimosa seeds that I purchased which seem to produce not mimosa of the hostilis/tenuiflora species. What I thought I was buying was a "dwarf mimosa" which I should have done a little more research, yes i know, however I was too excited at the idea that I bought without thought.
Im trying to grow it as a bonsai, it is about 4 months old, still not sure what this plant is, hopefully someone can identify it. Let me know what you all think as to what plant this is. One immediate reason to why I believe this is a faux hostility is that there are no thorns on the branches.
Let me know! =)

You'll have to give us more information than that. Like maybe a picture or two... “There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'. The field acts on the observer and puts him in a privileged position vis-à-vis the universe. From this position he has access to the realities which are ordinarily hidden from us by time and space, matter and energy. This is what we call the Great Work." ― Jacques Bergier, quoting Fulcanelli

A pic or two would help, but there is a good chance it's an Albizzia Julbrissan. The common name is silk mimosa, so it's pretty common for mixups. Forge a Path with Heart <3

Very valid point, A. julibrissin has antidepressant properties but no particular tryptamines of interest. “There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'.

Mimosa is proper binomial nomenclature for that whole genus, This nomenclature consists of a series of Latin names (though other languages can be incorporated) first part of the name identifies the genus to which the species belongs; the second part identifies the species within the genus.
So any plant in the genus "mimosa" can be called "mimosa" and it's not a mistake or misnomer, it definantly would not make it "faux"
Dwarf mimosa generally refers to Mimosa Pudica, "the sensitive plant", which is a common ornamental, though this plant responds to touch, so I'm sure you would have noticed if it was M. Pudica by now, 4 months old was it?
Mimosa borealis and Albizzia Julbrissan are also sold as ornamental plants, and are called "mimosa",
Always verify binomial titles (Latin names) before ever making a purchase...
It goes:
Kingdom:
Order:
Family:
Genus:
Species:
Though a simple picture of the plant or seed packet could probably quickly clear this up.
