A catkin can catch the eye

"A catkin or ament is a slim, cylindrical flower cluster, with inconspicuous or no petals, usually wind-pollinated (anemophilous) but sometimes insect pollinated (as in Salix)."

This one was on a tree near out church and it's a common catkin but in google images, there is an incredible variety to see.
