Pussy Willows

Salix caprea, known as goat willow, pussy willow, katjes or great sallow is a common species of willow native to Europe and western and central Asia.

Easy-to-grow pussy willows are happy in average to wet soils. Salix discolor can thrive in full sun to part shade, although less light means the plants won’t produce as many fuzzy catkins. Because pussy willows like moisture, they’re a good choice for planting near a pond, lake or stream; in a rain garden; or to help control soil erosion. Because the catkins appear so early, they’re considered one of the 
first signs of spring. 

Pussy willow plants can be male or female. Male plants produce the most ornamental catkins, which may be white, silvery-gray or yellowish. Female pussy willows have smaller, less showy catkins.

Many gardeners don’t bother to buy pussy willows since they’re so easy to root from cuttings. Start by making a cutting 12 inches long, about the diameter of a pencil, in early spring. Make the cut on an angle.

Root the cutting in water or directly in moist soil. To root in water, simply drop the cut end into a glass of clean water. Roots should form in a few weeks. Refill the glass with more water as it evaporates.

    Who am I.



    ​I am Norain. I am a photographer and a traveler.

    I am back for good.

    I’ve missed connecting with the online world. I’ve been idle for a very long time as I deactivated my blogspot page. I am feeling pretty good right now and motivated, things are moving along at the manageable pace. I set some goals and good intentions for 2020 and the upcoming years to come and I hope I can stick to them all the way.

    I am more focus on my art in PHOTOGRAPHY and brave about putting it out into the world and make sure that I have the time to post them. Although, some of my shots are already in my website but I wanted to elaborate the journey and behind the scene of every photo that was taken.

    ​Back to where I belong.

    "Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it.

    Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy: the experiences that make us the most vulnerable.

    Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness we will discover the infinite power of our light" - Brene Brown

    ​My final destination.

    Update: Year 2020
    After 2 years and 10 months living and operating my Photography business in the Philippines; we decided to move and live in Canada for good. I am positive that even when I am busy in my new cold world, I won't miss updating my blog.

    ​Back to my roots, The Philippines

    Update: Year 2017
    ​
    I do finally moved back to my country, The Philippines.
    ​

    Adjustment is a huge thing know that I've been away for so long. I hope catching up won't burn me.

    Let me explore my country once again and I will write about my journey soon.
    ​
