A pretty picture plus a lesson on how to identify it!

so it would be an Albizia? I identified this completely off of someone suggestion.

Evidently, it's in the stamens: Mimosa sp. have 10 or fewer. Albizia sp. have more than 10, and they're joined at the base. Acacia sp. have more than 10 and are not joined.

Interesting. I would have thought it a mimosa. How would one differentiate it?
