I made a necklace from a bunch of fallen catkins willow. Unfortunately, the shelf life of these beads is short.

From the slim branch of a tree, Catkins dance in the wind on a early spring afternoon.

We ruthlessly rake it out of our lawns. Yet a macro lens reveals moss as a verdant wonderland. At left, a fallen catkin adds contrast.

Thanks for your visit and comments I appreciate that very much
Katjes zijn één van de voorbodes van de lente. Je vindt ze nu aan struiken en bomen. Deze zijn zeer vers, sommige hebben hun 'hoedje' nog op.
One of the signs spring is coming are the catkins on several trees and shrubs. Here you can see the very first catkins. Some are still wearing their hats.
Thanks for taking time to fave, comment and look at my work. I really appreciate.
Even in winter you can recognize the hazel from a thousand. Its 'catkins' gracefully dangle from its branches, waiting for fertilization by the wind. Both male and female catkins appear on one multi-stemmed plant, but this winter bloomer still fails to 'pair' with itself.
Monoecious: This is what plants are called that are both male and female. To ensure strong offspring, they must invent a strategy that prevents them from self-pollinating. That is why the hazel already starts producing male 'catkins' or flowers in autumn. Only when they have finished flowering do smaller female catkins appear on the scene Because they do not flower at the same time, the pollen from the green 'hazelcats' cannot end up on the red 'hazelcats' of the same plant.
