Willows - Chinese New Year 2013

This post is like 2 months late.  I happened to see this picture quite nicely taken in my folder and thought it would be nice to place it here. 

This year, my MIL bought some beautiful willows for Chinese New Year.  The fluffy cotton buds actually 'grow' into bushy tails during the next few weeks.  I find it quite amazing and I suspect it must be something that the nursery added while growing them that makes them perk up into life after they are harvested.

Chinese New Year was like just a week ago but now we are already in the 2nd quater of the year 2013.  How time flies!
