These little beauties just came in I am in love, deep, serious love. I have never seen a pussy willow tree before and it may just be the sweetest little thing ever!
Here the story of the Salix Caprea Pendula
The weeping pussy willow is among the most graceful of trees. It is connected with all that is feminine-dreaming, intuition, emotion, enchantment, healing and revitilization. The willow has long since been recognized as a scred tree by poets, philosphers and religious leaders because of the flexibility of its twigs. The willows flexibility symbolizes resilience and inspires us to move with life rather than resist what we are feeling.
Legend has it that willow is bestowed with magical power capable of fulfilling wishes. (Awesome!) For a wish granted, ask permission of the willow explaining your desire. Select a pliable shoot and tie a loose knot in it expressing your wish. When your wish is fulfilled, return and untie the knot. Remember to thank the willow for your gift.
Now how cool is that?!?!? Who couldn't use a wish fulfilling tree of adorableness?
Look at those blooms!
For care keep well watered indoors for first winter. Silvery white catskins will appear followed by yellow stamens later in the season. After flowering, cut back to within twi inches of the stem allowing new branches to come for the following year, Plant outside in spring and keep well watered for the first year.
I'm off to tie some knots in Persephone the pussy willow tree!
