Pussy WillowsWillows & CatkinsThe Pussywillow that is North America is called also Salix Discolor..I learned some information when writing this one for we don't have this one around here just Weeping Willow and other Willows whose bloom looks similar to the second on the right..The form that I used is called interlocking Rubaiyat..
Salix Discolor had escaped my view Living in south that would be nothing new How I could enjoy your beauty in spring When only one Weeping Willow see through Gray-haired bloom so distintive against red Beauty like fur coat of cat that's purebred Salix Discolor stands still while wind's wing Transports young where no other foot has tread
