Two years ago a friend brought me a handful of pussy willows, and I stuck them in a vase for indoor decoration. When I went to get rid of them, I noticed that they had rooted while in the water. I decided to stick them in the ground, and two years later I have a HUGE pussy willow bush! Now each spring I can pick my own and bring them inside.
Also making my home feel extra springy....I bought a bouquet of tulips at the grocery store, and they are making me so happy.
