Poem about Elder - Summer Blooms
When the days have grown in length
When the sun has greater power
Shining in hi noonday strength
When the Elder tree is in flower
When each shady kind of place
By the stream and up the lane
Shows its mass of creamy lace
Summer's really come again!

Great timing to be new to your channel! Such a thrill to gather elder flowers along the American River in Sacramento yesterday. I am growing leeks, too, for the first time. Your tips are so interesting! My elder tree is in its 2nd summer. My yellow dock went to seed! Yes, an herbalist's hands are never bored! I think you got yourself your 23rd Patreon supporter here! Best to you!!
