I remembered from the discussion on the white berried one, so that was partly TIC, though i like the red ones anyway

TIC?

Well, red ones are pretty when the leaves are green and everything. And the flowers are nice looking too (in big bunches) - but they smell AWFUL.

I have a recipe of "baked rowan flowers"... Should try it next May.

Tongue in cheek

The baked flowers sound truly worrying to me. I wouldn't like to eat something that smells so awful! won't be asking you to share that recipe LOL
