Now stop being so childish!   Pussy Willow Fun Facts:

Pussy willow is a name given to many of the smaller species of the willows and sallows when their furry catkins are young in early spring. Some of these species include:

♥ Goat willow or goat sallow, a small tree native to northern Europe and northwest Asia.

♥ Grey willow or grey sallow, a small tree native to northern Europe

♥ American pussy willow, native to northern North America.

Before the male catkins of these species come into full flower they are covered in fine, greyish fur, leading to a fancied likeness to tiny cats, also known as “pussies“. The catkins appear long before the leaves, and are one of the earliest signs of spring. At other times of year trees of most of these species are usually known by their ordinary names.

"Pussy Cat"

A catkin is a slim, cylindrical flower cluster, with no petals, usually wind-pollinated. They contain many, usually unisexual flowers, arranged closely along a central stem. The word catkin is derived from the Dutch katje, meaning “kitten”, on account of the resemblance to a kitten’s tail. For more information on “pussy willow” click this link Define Pussy Willow 

Pussy Willow is often appreciated as a kind of symbolism for spring, the awakening of trees and plants. Spring is celebrated with all of the first flowers to bloom. Early Spring flowers; Pussy willow, tulips, daffodil, and hyacinth are among the favorites this time of year. We’re excited at Main Floral to welcome spring back!

The Flower of August

The August birth flower, Gladiola,  represents moral integrity, strength of character, and also infatuation.  Its name comes from the Latin word for sword “Gladius.”  It is believed that the Gladiolus species was given its name because of its Roman Gladiator sword shaped stem.  Its romantic flowering blooms are also beautiful enough to pierce the heart.  Gladioli are mostly native to southern Africa and tropical areas of the world.  Because of their popularity, Gladioli are widely cultivated and show off  many bright colors.  The Gladiolus species are also known as ”sword lilies”, “Wild Iris”, and “Glads”.
