Wow. I can't believe I forgot to post what it is. Found out in the Plant ID forum (I spread my question pretty thick :-)). I seriously thought I had come back here and posted. So sorry, cocoajuno.

Turns out it is a grevillea. Victoria Grevillea 'Murray Valley Queen', to be exact. Check out the following picture. Clearly mine is suffering a little. I think it likes the heat, just doesn't take to the pot very well. I thought I had killed the one Grevillea I had bought - LOL. Didn't remember that this was one, too.

Katye, I just meant that it wasn't a blossom in the conventional sense, but more of a catkin, such as a tree would generate. Funny, I was so sure that it was a willow until someone figured it out for me.

Here's a link with some neat pictures of different grevillea's in the PNW: http://www.angelfire.com/bc/eucalyptus/other_grevillea.html
