A sure sign of spring

Salix Discolar (Pussy Willow)

This very tall tree with its pearl gray catkins is actually on a neighbor's property which abuts our back yard.

The small plant below which I believe is a Lily of the Valley springs up by the garden gate very early every year at this time.

This year I am thinking of a small section in the garden featuring pink and red flowers which should bloom in the summer.
