Our ‘male’ Pussy Willow

Yes, Salix discolor (“American pussy willow” or “Glaucous willow”) comes in male and female versions. » See Wikipedia’s “Ecology”.

Being in the same genus, it is related to the “Weeping Willow” (Salix babylonica).

While there is still work to do inside in preparation for having seven houseguests next week, I was out mowing the lawn … for the third time this season.

pussykins. My mom had pussy willows but I've never seen them since I moved south except in the store.
