I always get excited when the elderflowers bloom. Tall bushes with pancake-shaped clusters of small yellow-white blossoms suddenly become apparent in all the roadsides and fields, and it's time to go collecting. The leaves and stems are poisonous, but the flowers themselves are edible and quite delicious.
I add them to pancakes or breads, and dry them for use in tea later in the year. [The ripe berries are also quite nice as a tea!]
