I believe you can get sprouts from them if kept in water.

Puddy-cat willow?
Willow will keep in water for weeks, just change it every so often, when it gets cloudy. It might be better to use rainwater, rather than tap.
It will eventually start to root.
The buds will stay for a while - is that what you are trying to preserve?
BTW willow water is supposed to be useful for rooting other plants, so don't throw it away!

Change water daily. It gets stale very fast.

If you're trying to preserve them by drying them, hang them in bunches upside down until they dry. The flowers should stay on the branches for years if they're dried properly.
LMAO at the auto censor. Kitty willows, then.

if you are trying to keep the ***** willow, don't put it in water. that makes it sprout and continue changing the ***** part. Just cut them and let them dry
