Three years ago, I bought a tiny mimosa tree and planted it in my garden. Since then, I've been taking care of it. Although when I bought it, it was only 30 cm tall, but it's grown 3 meters this year. Last year it bloomed just a few flowers, but this year it covered with buds. I'd been really looking forward to seeing it in full bloom.

Since it's started budding, I took several photos because I wanted to share the flowers.

Every time I went outside, I enjoyed checking how much the buds had grown.

I looked up at the sky and imagined how beautiful the tiny yellow flowers would look. Since the complementary color of yellow is blue, I thought it must be stunning!

A couple of days ago, my husband asked the Silver Human Resources Center to prune several trees in our yard. On that day, he went skiing with two of his friends, and I went out to see my friend. Two elderly guys came to our house to work for our trees.

When I got home, my mimosa tree was pruned very short!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cried out, "OH, MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" in my mind.

I was so shocked! I called to my husband to ask what exactly he had requested and found he asked them to cut all the tall trees. I guess they thought the mimosa tree was one of the tall trees.

Now my poor mimosa tree looks like the picture above. I was heartbroken when I first saw it, but now I'm more worried it might not survive because they cut it back too much. I really hope it'll pull through and grow back strong.
