Pussy Willow

Spring is nearly here, and to get our minds focused on warmer weather and budding flowers I thought I'd post some photos I took last spring of Pussy Willow twigs.  They were about 3 to 4 feet tall and lasted for weeks and weeks, and looked so stunning around the house.  I'm off looking for some more shortly, as it's about time to change my house over from autumn/winter colours to spring/summer colours.





I am linking up this week with Mary over at Mosaic Monday.

  3. Ah, what beautiful soft pussy willows! I love them. Plants that are fuzzy fascinate me, like pussy willows and lamb's ear. Thank you for sharing these Spring images, because it's snowing here!

  4. Those pussy willow twigs are so beautiful and spring like...

    I like to bring in branches this time of year and decorate them with little eggs and chicks that I have had for years and years.... I love Easter Decorations - I got a really cute banner from Waitrose this year that says 'Happy Easter' its so bright and cheerful - even my OH likes it!!!

  7. That top image is amazing!!!I adore Pussy Willows and oh to have a tree of my own. When I was a young child, we had a sweet neighbor who always cut a few branches off for my precious mother's bouquet, and I remember them with great fondness. Hmm, wonder where I might find a few sprigs...;')~
