Are THESE Elderberry Flowers?

This is in response to the lovely “comment” from Louise Nazeraj on the Hedgehog question.   This thing is called here “Rrush-qeni” or Dog Grapes.  In fall they make many black berries.  I think maybe they’re elderberries?  I hope so, because I want to make that cordial!!!  Louise:  I would have just answered your email, but I can’t put pictures that way.  Everyone here says that they do NOT eat these or do anything with them.  But as also many herbs – thyme, mint etc — grow here in profusion and yet we do not normally put them in the food, I am wondering if this is a great un-tapped resource?!

In other news, the Hedgehog is very well.  Just this evening I was working after dark in the new office (where she lives) and she was wuffling around my ankles and sticking her nose in my socks.  I picked her up and put her on my lap, where she promptly burrowed into my sweater.  Super-sweet!
