PICTURE OF THE PUSSY WILLOW

this looks more like a 'Star' Magnolia to me! not sure though, but it is the right time of year for them. - is this the same tree/bush that you took the picture of a catkin from? because Magnolia don't have catkins.

Definitely Magnolia stellata - aren't you lucky!

O how i love Stellata Magnolias your sure are lucky Harli :)

i thought so, and yes i agree with Jac n Spritz - this is far far better in my opinion than any willow! lol

I would love to have a magnolia, but yes this is the same pic. as on my homepage of the pussy willow pods or whatever. Im off to the hospital for tests today, but will be back later to visit.
You guys are the greatest!

Hope you get on OK, Harli. Let us know - and chin up!

Thank you Spritzhenry, that is very kind. I learned a long time ago to take my life one day at a time and deal with whatever comes along as it does. This too shall pass.
