Pussy Willow - a photo on Flickriver

Pussy Willow

            The seed head of the Plants are dioecious, that is each plant has only male or female flowers. The catkins, both male and female, appear on second year twigs in late winter before the leaves emerge. Male catkins are shorter, first covered with dense silver hair and then elongating to about an inch and yellow in color from the mass of male flowers each of which has two stamens with yellow anthers. The female catkins have many small greenish carpels with yellow styles which have divided tips. The carpels have short silky hairs. Female catkins range from 1 to 4 inches long. Both sexes have a nectar gland at the base of the flower to attract bees.
