Elder nigra

Exactly sounds too complicated and dangerous! Still remember my first attempt at making ginger beer and cleaning the mess for days after bottles exploded!

No sorry I don't. I remember the cider bottles my mother put it in exploding in the cellar. Brown glass in those days.

Got a good recipe Maranta?

Flowering now as we are at 950metre altitude- so a bit behind you lot.

Pink elderflower 'champagne' next year granjura ? Lovely.

I have one in my garden and it's been a real picture this year, lots of flowers and now the berries. I have a white flowering ground cover plant around/under it and a bright green conifer beside it and they all make a really pretty grouping beside the pond.
