On acacia flowers, girls are wondering about marriage. You need to pick an acacia brush, at home, without looking, tear off part of the inflorescence and put it under the pillow and wonder if you will get married this year. In the morning, take out part of the inflorescence and count the flowers. If there is an even number, then the wish will come true. If not, you'll have to wait.
