[Photo] Shy Cotton-like Fluff Blooming on Gaetbeodeul

On the 18th, the day of Usu (Rain Water), which marks the time when snow melts and turns into rain according to the solar terms, willow catkins (Gaetbeodeul) are shyly revealing their inner softness along the Han River in Yeouido, Seoul. Called 'willow catkins' because they resemble puppy tails, Gaetbeodeul bloom fluffy flowers around mid-February, near the time of Usu (Rain Water). / Reporter Kim Hyun-min kimhyun81@
