If memory serves, it's a catkin, the longleaf pine's 'pollen spike'.

Looks more like a bud than the male cone to me.
But I did miss the palmetto puzzle!

SwampAngel, you were sooooooooo close!

FC, you might very well be right. I'm pretty rusty on parts ID and Googling didn't help a lot.

The yellow dust is starting to fall here, and even our dogs are sneezing. Although, I've heard that pine pollen dust is too big to really cause a problem like sneezing. Another urban legend maybe?

Valown, pine pollen's chemical composistion makes it less likely to cause sneezing. Plus, it's heavy and falls straight down, so people aren't as likely to breathe it in. There's probably some other culprit sneezilating your dogs.
