Linda,
I am so happy you posted the picture of the white elderberry. Evidently, I have the same plant or at least it looks the same. This one had been appearing for many years, but I only saw the green leaf and not the flower. It's a fast grower, and I never had time to cut it, chop it, etc. and the beautiful flowers appeared last year for the first time. The scent of the flower is wonderful. I now see it blooming everywhere in our area. Either a bird dropped the seed or it was included in the many seeds that I have just tossed in that best-growing bed near the garage. It has just about covered the small garage door. Some of the leaves fell off during the winter, but they came back on the same plant with a vengeance this year.

Josephine, do you think it's the same as Linda's. Oh, my gosh, I'm on cloud nine!
