<< review queue entry 56108 - submitted by 'wyhcwe' >> plant, mentioned as a decoration. https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%93%B6%E6%9F%B3 Editor: Various sources say it's Salix argyracea Salix leucopithecia Salix sachalinensis "Sekka" Salix gracilistyla Salix argyrocarpa ! But anyway, it seems you can call it "pussy willow" or "cat-tail willow". - "Pussy willow is a name given to many of the smaller species of the genus Salix (willows and sallows) when their furry catkins are young in early spring." - "银柳, cat-tail willow is one of the favorite Chinese New Year decorative plants in Singapore, Malaysian and Taiwan" TP ~ 蔥小子騎腳踏車，載著背銀柳的蒜公主；車籃內則裝著甜美多汁的上將梨，笑嘻嘻地準備出遊去 Little Scallion and Princess Leek are joyously setting off on a tandem bicycle; the princess is bearing pussy willows on her back, and the bike's basket is full of juicy, sweet "General" pears. 耐人尋味的是，在已公告適用的126種作物中，高達33％（40種）乏人問津，包括銀柳、日日春、秋海棠等，根本沒有人提出申請。 Interestingly, of the 126 plant species eligible for protection, there has been no interest at all-i.e. no applications for exclusive rights-in 33% (40) of them, including pussy willow, rosy periwinkle, and hardy begonia. |
