What do you think, what is this plant that blooms so tiny yellowish-white flowers?

This elderberry is black (black elder) - (Sambucus nigra L.)

So, this is a well-known plant with a peculiar fragrant aroma. Sometimes called plant differently, for example:European elde buzovnik ... Sambuc (think that is the name associated with the Eastern musical instrument Sambuca, which were made from elderberry hardwood).
The black elder can be found in parks (I found it there), forests, near houses ...

The plant blooms in May and June. These are buds. :))

You can consider small flowers closer ... It turns out that the flowers of elderberry contain only pollen, but there is no nectar .. self-pollinating plant :))

Elderberry is black is a useful medicinal plant. Use the whole plant (flowers, leaves, bark, fruits and roots). The black elderis used in the Middle Ages as a dye ... they dyed fabrics and ... hair ....

I do not have any photos of berries, they will only ripen in August-September :). My friend cooks jam from the berries, ... well, very delicious :))




The photos were taken by a Canon PowerShot SX200 IS

Enjoy watching!
