Flabbergasted to see Hazel catkins open this early in December. It's only 13 years ago, but finding these flowers open on my first #NewYearPlantHunt on New Year's Day 2013 was quite hard.

These particular plants have been flowering before Christmas in recent years, but, I think, not as early as this.
