Pussy willow is the most familiar catkin. Majority of catkins are long and drooping. Catkins contain many, usually unisexual, flowers that are arranged closely along a drooping central stem.

Broom is a group of evergreen semi-evergreen and deciduous shrubs in the legume family. Brooms have dense, slender green stems and small leaves. Majority of the species have yellow flowers but few species may have white, orange, red, pink or purple flowers. Brooms and its species are natives of Europe, North Africa and Southwest Asia, greatest diversity being in the Mediterranean regions. Many of the species of grooms can adapt to stand-replacing fires that kill aboveground parts of the plants but create conditions for re-growth from the roots and also for germination of stored seeds in the soil.
Common broom is the most widespread species of broom, which is a native of northwestern Europe, where it can be found in dry and sandy soils. It has apparently leafless stems that are covered in profuse golden yellow flowers during spring and summer. In late summer, its pea-pod like seed bursts open with an audible pop, spreading the seed from the parent plant. It makes a shrub of about 1-3 meter tall. Brooms can tolerate and often thrive best in poor soils and growing conditions. Although the cultivation needs little care but they need good drainage, as it can perform poorly on wet soils. Brooms are widely used as garden and landscape ornamental plants. They are also used for wasteland reclamation and sand dune stabilizing.
