Wondrous! Great shot, Chris.
Thanks! I love how the leaves resemble alien fingers probing into the air….
What wonderful photos! It may be that our native species is in bloom now. I’ve seen shrubs heavy with white blossoms that weren’t immediately recognizable, and this could be it. I had to laugh — every time I read the name Sambucus, I think about Richie Sambora, lead guitarist for Bon Jovi. That may be appropriate, since I just came across this article, which notes that “The Sambucus genus is likely named for the sambuca, an ancient musical instrument from Greece; elderberry stems are still made into clapper sticks, flutes, and whistles.”
I think it’s a very appropriate name association!!
Fascinating watching them unfurl! 😃
It really is – day by day getting larger…
