I am so glad they made it out. Remember when I posted mine and you lamented how it seems to be forever before you would have any. Time flies and Spring is here. MB
We usually found these pussy willows around the Chinese New Year , in early February. But of course they are brought in from overseas, as they don't grow well in the tropical. Very beautiful.
Just discovered that pussywillows play a role in the celebration of Easter of many Eastern European peoples who carry pussywillows instead of palm branches on Palm Sunday. So your post is very timely! And a beautiful photograph too I must say.
For many Chinese Singaporeans, the Puss Willow is a must for Chinese nEw Year decor. This year, I guess the winter cold has cause them to be delayed. The poor farmers must be crying, because Chinese New Year is long gone.

ReplyDeleteBautiful pussy willows - I've always loved them since I first became aware of them as a young child.
ReplyDeleteMakes me want to run right to the flower mart and buy some branches - they aren't readily available for picking here.
