Confirming: Elderberry blooms. Claiming: Dibs on Bull Run crop

Berries make wonderful wine; they'll be ready to pick in August, but are harder to find when ripe
About: Wildflowers and plants of KY: Elderberry blossoms

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

Yes, this beautiful plant is an Elderberry. They are easy to spot this time of year when their creamy white blossoms mark their location.

You will need to remember where you saw them if you want to pick because by the end of August when the berries are ripe they are a lot harder to locate.

By the way I have "dibs" on the elderberries out on Bull Run.

Elderberry wine is wonderful and this year I think I will try my hand at making Elderberry cordial if I can pick enough berries.
