FINALLY! the first catkins have opened! our pussy willow (Salix discolor) has begun to flower. a true sign of spring. now hoping for sunny days to bring on the #nativebees - they love this early food source. #bloomscrolling #nativeplants #nature #pollinators

close up photo of portion of pussy willow branch (brown but with a reddish/purplish cast) with several silver gray furry catkins arranged somewhat evenly spaced around its length. some catkins have begun to open with their brilliant-yellow pollen-rich stamens bursting forth. picture taken on March 27, 2025.
