Every year, in January, the mimosa arrives to the market in Autun. A stall full of yellow sunshine. It is very popular. I queued for 20 minutes yesterday to buy a bunch. But it is worth it. For 10 euros I bought the bunch shown below. It will only last a couple of days but who cares! It smells wonderful and reminds us all that spring will arrive one day. When I look out the window at our frozen garden it is a welcome reminder.
