The Boggy Brae's self-seeded elder tree is nearly flowering. It grows in the shade of a rowan so its flowering is behind that of its parent tree in the nearby copse.

The lower branches of BB-elder have bowed down to the ground to get more light but some others are stretching up high into the rowan. Last autumn, when the rowan had lost all its leaves, the elder leaves were a bright shot of green. I enjoyed that.
