Pussy Willow Trees forecast the coming Spring!
There are a few sure signs that spring has arrives. The first snowdrops, cherry blossoms, or forsythia flowers. One of the more subtle, but beautiful, first flowers of spring are pussy willows. The flowers are actually “catkins” which are a cluster of small flowers. The flowers start as a soft white rabbits foot like bud and open into a pincushion like cluster of yellow flowers. They are an excellent source of pollen for the bees as they come out of hibernation.
