Description
Macro Pussy Willow on Blue. Growing up in Germany we would decorate Pussy Willows with decorated eggs. We would eat scramble eggs for weeks to have enough empty eggs to decorate. Pussy willow is a name given to many of the smaller species of the genus Salix when their furry catkins are young in early spring. These species include: Goat willow or goat sallow, a small tree native to northern Europe and northwest Asia. Ukrainian and Russian Orthodox; Ruthenian, Polish, Czech, Slovak, Bavarian, and Austrian Roman Catholics; Finnish and Baltic Lutherans and Orthodox; and various other Eastern European peoples carry pussy willows on Palm Sunday instead of palm branches.
German:
Ein Kätzchen ist ein meist männlicher Blütenstand mancher Bäume und Sträucher. Die Bezeichnung geht auf sein fühlbar weiches Äußeres zurück, das mit weichem Katzenfell vergleichbar ist.
