Female catkin

Kotte
Swedish word of the day, that you probably can't pronounce correctly. Gråalkotte. Grey alder, female catkin. Around a centimeter long. The tree grows next to the path near the old tree.

    I looked it up in a book, and then I googled a bit. But then again I could be wrong!

    It certainly stands out well.

    I imagine my pronouncing the word would sound wrong.
