Catkins are the blooms on certain trees. Here's a dictionary definition: "A spike of unisexual, apetalous flowers having scaly, usually deciduous bracts, as of a willow or birch." I took this from my terrace looking towards our little lake and this is from an old white birch tree. When I see the catkins starting to appear I know spring is near.
