@NickEast_IndieWriter @outdoor @nature@fedigroups.social @photography@fedigroups.social @photography@lemmy.world @Nature@lemmy.world @hiking@lemmy.world @hiking@fedigroups.social We call the soft bud-shaped ones the Pussy Willow.Catkins hang down and I think on hazel (most common here), birch & some oak. Maybe one kind of willow has catkins.
