A close-up shot of a willow branch with soft, delicate catkins against the backdrop of a bright sunset over a body of water. The sunlight creates a shimmering, golden reflection on the water's surface, and the sky is a warm, hazy orange and purple. The foreground is in soft focus, highlighting the intricate detail of the catkins.

It's still early April, but I have already photographed a lot of willow catkins. Most of the photos have been 'meh', but sometimes – like today – I manage to get a photo I like :)

Icy catkins. They are last year’s growth.

Three brown catkins covered in ice, with little icicles hanging from each of them. The background is a brick garage. They are from a Japanese birch tree. The catkins are thin, cylindrical flowers that hang from the branches.

not to be outdone
oaks show off catkins, the palms
inflorescences!

Is it spring and Easter already? I noticed that the catkins are blossoming early this year.

One of the very joyful things about plant parenting is when you see all the fluffy bumble bees floating around in your garden. 🐝💚

Despite the grey and chilly weather here in Helsinki, some plants have noticed the first – albeit tenuous – signs of spring. I have never seen snowdrops in early March before. They are certainly pretty, but this worries me a bit. I also photographed some willow catkins, grey alder catkins and disintegrating bulrush seed heads. Though truth be told, willow catkins started appearing in January because it was so warm.

Purple crocus flowers, waking in the verges

Some 'sad' snowdrops, know as such due to a green downturned 'mouth; marking

Some catkins fallen onto a mossy rock wall

Some willow catkins covered in hoarfrost.
Not the greatest of all photos, but I really like how the harsh structure off the ice contrasts the softness of the catkins. Nevertheless, time for spring to come. :D
