When people talk about mimosas, they automatically think of Women's Day. Because on March 8, mimosas are given away in French-speaking Switzerland and Ticino. These stand for femininity. They are unusual because they react to touch, vibration, or a change in temperature by folding the feathery leaflets in the affected region with lightning speed, only to stretch them out again after a few minutes.

Now they may react sensitively. But there is a lot of vitality and strength in them at the same time, just like in women (smile).
