The
Elder (Sambucus Nigra), with its flat-topped masses of creamy-white
fragrant blossoms, followed by large drooping bunches of
purplish-black, juicy berries, is a familiar object in English
countryside and gardens.
In England, it has
been said, that summer is not here until the Elder is fully in
flower, and that it ends when the berries are ripe.
Elder Flowers (and
Elder Berries) have long been used for making many home-made drinks.
The effects of elder flowers are: alternative, diaphoretic,
anti-inflammatory and anti-catarrhal.
