Wildflower - Elderberry

The Elderberry bushes are starting to bloom in the neighborhood.



The Elderberry bush produces clusters of very small flowers that produce dark purple to black berries. Each berry has a juicy interior with 3-5 small seeds. The small fruits are edible when they are fully ripe and can be used to make elderberry jelly, pie, and wine.
