Pusy willow time part 2 : What I did with the branches


Early, early early spring containers.  When a client say's she's tired of her winter containers, and would like a jump start on spring, I always try to accommodate.


It was a beautiful sunny day, about 40 degrees, and there was some snow on the ground.
The soil is still frozen, and it's too early to be planting anything. Pusy willow branches, boxwood cutting, preserved Eucalyptus and some silk stems were used.

The harshness of winter is over, but the warmth of spring is still a ways off.

it's

Pusy willow time



The house is high end modern, and the arrangements in the pots reflect this feeling, the lavender collar of Eucalyptus softens the look



The branches are long, somewhat arching and full of fuzzy silver catskills when used in mass the effect is quite stunning



The fountain at the front of the house has not been filled with water yet, because of the weather, so arrangements were placed in container's and set in the basin of the fountain. Nobody wants to look at a empty hole. The branches give height too.

Maybe this is a new season for gardens, we'll call it Pusy willow time
