Thanks for the interesting story! I really enjoyed reading about how mimosas became popular in France.

Interesting. I live in Australia and the mimosa blooms can be the bane of a hayfever sufferer's life. Same season as France. However, they are joyful with their bright colour and delightful fragrance. I believe Frank Meier of the Ritz created the drink.

Yes, the mimosa drink is credited to Frank Meier, I believe in the 1920s. I didn't realize mimosa blooms could cause hayfever, but it makes sense!
