Thursday's plant-watch: Elderberries
You may remember how green the elderberries [sv. = fläder, lat. Sambucus nigra ] were in September. Most berries look like beads and pearls, so I am looking for sources of inspiration for jewellery here. S ee the change in colour? It's November now and the berries themselves are a very dark, blackish, blueish purple . The birds eat the berries or they fall off, so the reddish stems are more visiable. Is it possible to do something with these colours or am I being too literal? Well, we'll see a little later what I do with this! Anna
