Tiny harbingers of spring: blooms of my native hazelnut, Corylus americana.The left photo is the male inflorescence, which you can see is starting to open up in preparation for releasing pollen. The right photo, taken a couple inches further up the same branch, is the itty-bitty female flower.

You really need to be looking closely to notice these.
