A SOFT BEGINNING... CATKINS
#AbFav_FREE_
(Salix caprea)
Also known as the pussy willow, the male catkins of the goat willow look like a cat’s paws.
It supports lots of wildlife, including the elusive and regal purple emperor butterfly.
Salix (willow) is a species of willow, one of two species commonly called pussy willow.
Unlike most willows, its brittle twigs are not suitable for weaving.
The wood burns well and makes a good fuel and charcoal.
The flowers are soft silky silvery catkins, borne in early spring before the new leaves appear.
Have a good day and thanks for your visit, so very much appreciated, Magda, (*_*)
