As alien looking as its name sounds. These little peachy colored things are NOT flowers, but the female cones on this nursery bought plant. Known by several common names, we'll just use arborvitae. I've never seen these before this spring. Perhaps I was too busy looking at everything else. More info on this plant here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platycladus
@milaniet I can't zoom in as close as I'd like on this teeny tiny things, and couldn't really tell what they looked like until viewing on my screen. They're so strange looking!
