Question
For the last few years I have been trying to ID Salix flowers, but as forewarned on Go Botany, this is proving to be difficult. Can you thiverify this plant, I came up with S. candida. - Bruce
Answer
Dear Bruce, Good afternoon. Identifying willows from their flowers is difficult--but it is far harder to due from a photograph. This is complicated further without knowing the natural community this willow was found within. Can you email me at ahaines@nativeplanttrust.org so that we might discuss where you found this and examine additional images that you may have? We can probably come to an answer, but I need a bit more information. Best wishes.
