Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has.

Pussy willow, Salix discolor S76-1533.
View larger version.

The male and female flowers of pussy willow (Salix discolor) are borne on separate shrubs. Mature female flowers are pictured here. Pussy willow flowers early in spring; this early flowering is a boon to hungry bees and other nectar- and pollen-seeking insects, which are important pollinators for the life cycle and survival of the species.
