A few years ago, I received a flower arrangement from a friend that had beautiful pussy willows tucked inside. Once the flowers had wilted, I put the pussy willow twigs in a glass of water. A few weeks later roots sprouted, which surprised me, so I decided to plant them in the garden. Today I have a giant pussy willow tree. I'm not kidding. The thing is huge after just three years. Of course, not knowing it would be such a great success, I planted it in a very bad spot. Sadly, my husband will have to take it down this weekend. It's in full bloom, so I've been thinking of ways to display them. I found directions to make this pussy willow wreath at HGTV. I shall give it a try. I will also put some of the twigs into water and start all over again.
