What is this please?

 Anyone have a clue as to what this little tree is called?
It is about 6 years old and the main stem has died back a couple of times,
then it has again sprouted from the base
Looks to be frost intolerant as after a hard winter, it dies back, but then
replenishes itself in the spring,
It is flowering now, early summer, the leaves are mimosa type

Who bloody  knows  Uncle George,  could  be anything, It might  be an old
root,  that  wondered  in one  dark  night and refused  to leave  five years
later.
  But the point is  George,  what are  you  doing  on  here,  You  know
about as  much as  I  do about  this  gardening  thing'ee,  and that's
nothing.

Thanks for your reply Bassett, thought that I was going to get an answer to
my question
But asking a question on flowers and petals to the usual crowd, usually
brings an answer from someone who only knows something about bicycle petals

But I have since found out that it is a Albizia Julibrissen, a mimosa plant
or by another name, A Persian Silk Tree.
Maybe that Persian tart who called in a couple of years ago left it here

Glad that is the only thing she left

But in my spare time, of which I dont have much, I have a small interest in
gardening
I do the looking and someone else does the work

 g'day george,

i've tried twice now mate and can't get an image all i get is the
promotion of the image site?

i find photo bucket heaps easier to use.

would like to see a pic see if i can help.

Thanks Len, don't know what happened to the link but  I have posted a photo
in

aus.binaries.pictures.gardens under "what is this"

I understand now that the tree, shrub is an Aldezia Junibrissin or a Persian
Silk Tree
Very delicate looking flowers and it has been a delicate tree, with a few
branches dying back, but it sprouts from the base each year and survives
