    Terrific spring photo; the willows, the checked coat and the lemon yellow wrap work beautifully together.

    I must admit I had never asked myself what people used in other countries, so thank you for the informative photo. In Italy, we use olive branches.

    Black and white and bright yellow - very stylish. We decorate with catkins too. We call them "bazie".
