Well my mind said “witch hazel” and I got a mental image of seeing these on the ground under the witch hazel bushes at a nearby botanical garden. But all the photos show them as being more like elongated pine cones. Searched for “open catkins,” closest thing I found was pin oak catkins. Looking forward to learning what they are.
