Lemony Lace Elderberry Spring Foliage - April 2025

One of the more interesting early Spring shrubs in our garden is this Lemony Lace Elderberry.  Planted in the Fall of 2022, it turns out this maroon-and-green lace-like foliage that look like little firework explosions on the limbs.  See below for a few photos of the almost Japanese-Maple-like leaves that sort-of unfurl from center clusters.  

Spring bud burst is always a fun time, but right now, this Lemony Lace Elderberry might be the star of the entire show.
