Shrub with bubbly-looking, yellow flowers depicted in Miami mosaic (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mimosa

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'shrub' is the definition.
(I know that Mimosa is a type of shrub)

'in miami mosaic' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'MIMOSA' can be found hidden inside 'miami mosaic'.

'with bubbly-looking yellow flowers depicted' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mimosa that I've seen before include "Flower of Maoism?" , "Tropical shrub with yellow flowers" , "Australian acacia tree" , "Sensitive thing growing" , "Shrub - I'm Amos (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
