Catkin time is one of our favourite times of the year.

Serafina described this catkin from an aspen on campus as “a mix between corn and a raspberry.” 🤣 Isn’t it just so pretty?!?!?

I took this photo on May 7.

Scroll down to see another pic from the same tree, (albeit from the other side of the tree) only 3 days later, as the catkin is already really loosening up!

And next to it, a bonus catkin from a box elder on our property.

Do you have a favourite catkin?
