About Me
- Libbys Blog
- I am a stay at home mum, due to a daughter with Neurological Diversity! I am too busy to get bored and how people fit in work I'll never know! I craft, sewing, knitting and anything else that takes my fancy. I garden and have dug up part of my garden for veg patches! I now have two greenhouses both heated! Plus a new jungle bed which I started 2007! This has really captured my imagination to the extent that I now own 30 Brugmansia Bushes/Trees and many other beautiful Exotic Plants, so join me and see what mischief I get up to whilst home alone!!!

Thanks so much for this photo Libby. It was always exciting to see the first catkins and pussy wilow but the only srea nearby with them is not wheelchair friendly. Now thanks to you I've seen some!

I'm still catching up with all the blogs since I was away and today I read all your entries. Lovely, lovely photos......and sad ones (the tree!)
I was saddened to see the demise of the tree Libby. The catkins put a smile on my face however, I don't think we have them here...I remember them fondly though from when we lived in the UK.
I plead ignorance. I never heard of Catkins before. Are Catkins and Pussy Willows in the same family? Just thought about cats and pussycats,,
lovely light and detail here!! :o)
Ah yes - catkins - a great shot Libby - yours look much bigger than the ones on the tree at the fish farm that I visited the other day.
Great shot.
Are they on a filbert tree or something else? Lovely shot.
I've heard of these but I don't think I've ever seen any before today.
Catkins & pussywillow are from different trees!
Pussywillow comes from the plant Salix Caprea (goat willow) and Catkins can be found on a number of trees, hazel and some varieties of willow!
