Salix discolor

Salix discolor, commonly known as pussy willow, is a species of willow native to North America. It's a deciduous shrub or small tree that typically grows in wetland areas such as marshes, swamps, and along streams. 

The plant is renowned for its furry, catkin-like flower buds, which appear in early spring before the leaves emerge. These buds are soft and covered in fine, silvery hairs, resembling the fur of a cat, hence the name "pussy willow." The flowers later develop into small, inconspicuous catkins.

Pussy willow is often prized for its ornamental value in landscaping and gardening, particularly for its early spring interest. It's also sometimes used in traditional crafts, such as in floral arrangements and decorations for Easter and other springtime celebrations. Additionally, like many willow species, it has ecological value, providing habitat and food for various wildlife species.
