Sambucus Week

Plenty of Hibiscus syriacus keeps the flowery look of the garden in week 2009/35, while the glow is coming into Pyracantha berries. I have not yet noticed Sambucus nigra berries, but they must be out there somewhere. We have also had a great display over the past 10 days or so from the Symphoricarpos bushes: my wife plucks the white berries and jumps on them to make them pop. In our front garden and in nearby allotments, big red heads of Eupatorium stand out, along with Rudbeckia and sunflowers.
