Daily Postcard: The morning sun puts a sparkle on the Aspen Catlins budding at a residence Tuesday in White Rock. In February, March and April Aspen and Poplar catkins start to appear. These trees have male and female catkins on different trees. Male catkins release pollen and female catkins produce the white fluffy seeds that carpet the ground in April and May.
