What is mimosa? How to use in English

The word "mimosa" has a fascinating history. It originated from the naturalist and explorer Chevalier Pierre André de Rémond de Montmort, who in 1713 described a tree he discovered in Persia (now Iran) called "Mimosa." The tree, later known as Albizzia julibrissin, is also called the "silk tree" due to its delicate, silky seeds. In the 19th century, a French gardener, Baron Guillaume Dupuytren, brought back a few Mimosa seeds to Europe and cultivated the tree in his garden. The wine and champagne combination that we now know as a "mimosa" was likely created in the United States in the early 20th century, possibly at the Tail of the Cock bar in Hollywood, California, where it was served as a "Mimosa cocktail" at a special breakfast event. The name "mimosa" was applied to the cocktail, likely due to its association with the bright yellow color of the tree's flowers and the wine-like aroma of the drink. And that's the story of how this popular brunch cocktail got its name!
