Mimosa (lat. Acacia dealbata) is a plant from the genus Acacia, and there are more than 300 different species of mimosa in the world, all of which originate from Australia.
Mimosa is specific in that it is the only flower that blooms during winter, and is taken as a symbol of woman and freedom. In Italy, France and Russia, this flower is associated with International Women's Day, March 8, when women are given a bouquet of these yellow flowers. Mimosa means respect, brings luck in business and love.
It is believed that the first mimosas arrived in France in the 18th century and were planted around the villas of the rich and in the parks of noble castles.
It was brought to Herceg Novi by the famous sailors from Boka from their long journeys. Due to the favorable Mediterranean climate, with about 200 sunny days a year, this flower soon became at home and permanently spread throughout Boka Kotor.
In February, the mimosa turns the entire Herzegovinian riviera into a luxurious garden, and is the trademark of the festival, the famous Mimosa Festival, and tourism in Boka Kotor and the Montenegrin coast in general.
