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.
Pussy willows were a favorite of my mother. They are such a spring icon. Your pictures are gorgeous and as I look at them out my window I see snow falling!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt would be so lovely to see the lovely pussy willow through the snow. Thanks for a sneak preview Diana x
ReplyDeleteAh, 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!
ReplyDeleteThose pussy willow twigs are so beautiful and spring like...
ReplyDeleteI 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!!!

I have not seen these in years!!We moved to Florida and since then just don't seem to find them in the south? I love what you have done with the images!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, I just want to touch them!
ReplyDeleteThat 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...;')~
ReplyDeleteI haven't cut pussy willows for many years - they are such a sign of spring!
