Weeping willows are pretty but way too big and messy. Most other willows I find ugly. When I met Salix integra 'Hakuro-nishiki' I fell in love.
When the sapsucker got a headache from banging her head against
trees and listening to her babies' squawking nonstop from sunrise to sunset, she visits my asprin tree.

Then there's the poor butterfly whose headaches come from the flycatchers.
As for me, how could someone get a headache watching this?
