It is just coming out here JoAnn - very late this year. We always associate it with the palm and palm Sunday (the sunday before easter), but it was nowhere near out then. I love it and it goes so beautifully with daffodils in a vase.
I shouldn't whine that we've still got grey skies, and rain. Sounds like many poor souls are still digging out from snow. I suppose sooner or later we'll all have summer, won't we? Won't we????
I love your pictures! I am not sure that pussy willows grow down here in the deep south?? From the comments of others, they must have a sweet smell as well. Azaleas announce spring here. I am visiting from a Favorite Thing Saturday and am your newest follower. Please stop by Still Woods Farmhouse for a visit!
Awww! Lovely! I am awaiting ANY sign of spring here in Michigan.
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother had pussy willow and I always associate spring with her and my mom bringing branches into the house ..
ReplyDeleteGreat shot...they look so pretty mixed in with a flower arrangement.
ReplyDeleteI so agree! They are the first sign of spring here too! xo
ReplyDeleteExquisite shots of some of nature's treasures ^_^
ReplyDeleteOh Yes! Time to go for a walk by the river and collect some!
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, it is spring (I don't mention the 4 inches of snow we had this morning). :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love them too.
ReplyDeleteBig Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

ReplyDeleteCrispy
We used to call them "wussy pillows"...
ReplyDeleteFor me it is official spring when the bloodroot blooms. :)
Oh, lovely soft captures. My pussy willows blossomed about 2 weeks ago, today, it's snowing!

ReplyDeleteI've yet to see any pussy willows this spring, so I'm very happy you showed them here!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for joining in this week.
