These are the flowers of humulus lupulus or more commonly known as (common) hop. The shape is unique and the pale green color is so beautiful! I first thought they were the flowers of carpinus japonica (i.e., Japanese hornbeam), i.e., the flowers I saw in May which are very similar to hop's, but the flower size and shape (though slightly) as well as the leaf shape are different. After googling, I've concluded that they're hop!

Needless to say, the female fruits from hop are used to preserve and flavor beer, but to tell you the truth, I haven't drunk beer for many years because beer is too bitter for me😂! I hope someday I'll be mature enough to appreciate the taste of beer...😅
