Elderberry Tree Blossom

My favorite fast growing large shrub (small tree).  Bonus:  It bears beautiful berries every fall if not pruned the season before. I have two of these growing in our back yard and it rarely is bothered by bugs. Processed in Adobe Photoshop Elements using the Selective Coloring Technique.

Lady's Mantel Blossom And Leaves

Did a still life shot with this little bird and Lady's Mantel blossom. This perennial readily goes to seed so I enjoy sharing it with other gardeners.  Once done blooming I cut the entire plant off to about 2  inches above the ground and it grows back as a nice green mound after.  The blossoms have a soft sweet earthy scent and make a nice bouquet.
