How are you my friends, are you noisy? Today it's time for photos with willow. When a willow blossoms then it looks like this. Like cotton, and when the wind blows and starts wearing these snowflakes, it looks like it's snowing. That cotton can cause problems for us fishermen because it sticks to the nylon and makes it thicker and bothers you when pulling it out. Let's find out more about willows. Willow is the name for plants of the genus Salix. There are about 350 species of willow, different life forms - most often it is a tree, although it can also have the form of shrubs or ground plants. It usually grows in wet areas, along rivers or in wetlands. Willow also has healing properties. Its bark has long been used to make tea that relieves pain and accelerates the excretion of toxic substances from the body. The most important ingredient in the bark is salicin. Willow is among the first scientifically researched plants. As early as the 19th century, the French chemist Lerox extracted the active ingredient from willow bark and named it salicin, and from 1852 salicin was produced synthetically, and in 1899 the first aspirin was produced. Due to the content of salicin, care should be taken not to overdose, ie strict adherence to the amount and duration of use (not longer than 3-4 weeks). People who are hypersensitive to aspirin and those with ulcers are active should not use willow preparations.

Kada vrba procveta onda to ovako izgleda. Kao pamuk da je a kada duva vetar i krene da nosi ove pahulje onda izgledao kao da pada sneg. Taj pamuk ume da pravi probleme nama ribolovcima jer se lepi za najlon i pravi zadebljanja te smeta pri izvlačenju. Hajde da saznamo nešto više o vrbi. Vrba je naziv za biljke iz roda Salix. Postoji oko 350 vrsta vrbe, različitih životnih formi — najčešće je u pitanju drvo, mada može imati i formu žbuna, ili prizemne biljke. Raste obično na vlažnim područjima, uz reke ili na močvarnoj podlozi. Vrba posjeduje i lekovita svojstva. Njena kora se od davnina koristi za pravljenje čaja koji ublažava bolove i pospešuje izlučivanje otrovnih materija iz organizma. Najvažniji sastojak kore je salicin. Vrba je među prvim naučno istraženim biljkama. Još u XIX veku je francuski hemičar Leroks izvukao aktivni sastojak iz kore vrbe i nazvao ga salicin, a od 1852. salicin se proizvodi sintetički da bi 1899. bio proizveden prvi aspirin. Zbog sadržaja salicina treba voditi računa da ne dođe do predoziranja, dakle strogo pridržavanje u količini i dužini upotrebe (ne duže od 3-4 nedelje). Osobe preosetljive na aspirin i one kod kojih je čir aktivan ne bi trebalo da koriste preparate od vrbe. Vrba je otrovna biljka
