Description:There is one particular species of plant called the "pussy willow". Pussy willow is the common name for Salix discolor, a member of the willow family, the Salicaceae. But, nearly all willows, as well as some other species in this plant family, have furry little "flower buds" - what people usually refer to as "pussy willows" - arranged along their branches and stems. Most people don't distinguish between "pussy willow", the plant and "pussy willow", the phenomenon of willow flowering in the spring. So, I decided not to, either. This essay is an exploration of the general nature of reproduction in willows, with apologies to those purists that might object to my non-technical use of the phrase "pussy willow".
