Anybody know what it is yet???

Hello - one of the first plants I brought about 12 years ago when moved in - have no clue what it is called - and this is the first year I can recall seeing blossom on it.

Any help with plant I.D much appreciated.

 P.S excuse the poorly grass - another problem to solve!

    The branches on the right have got flowers, A bit stumpy catkin looking.

    It might be one of the creeping willows. 

    Looks very aged and interesting

    I agree with Nut - Salix repens. Nice plant to have!

    I think its interesting too Nutcutlet - looks great in winter when just a skeleton and for some reason I'm always pleased to see the leaves begin to shoot.

    I thought repens was furrier than that one but I haven't got a better species to offer

    Looks like an indoor plant to me.  The flowers don't look like willow, certainly.

    Tray14, your plant looks to be the double of one I recently acquired from my parents garden.  They told me it is a weeping willow, but don't know the exact variety, sorry.
