I have been very busy this spring. That is why I acquired the Water Hyacinths only now. I have
to do that every spring, because they cannot survive the winter here. This is the first one to bloom.












And this is the overall setting. I had taken that picture about 3 weeks prior to the hyacinth pics.
The big bush in the background is a black lace elder.

Olafhenny, That background shrub,

I bought one similar this year. Mine is called Sambuscus Nigra. I may buy two more. Two of my Maples were completely defoliated these last two years and these come a very close second and they flower.

Hi Orinoko,

That is the same thing. Sambucus Nigra comes in (at least) two cultivars. Sambucus Black Beauty
and Sambucus Nigra 'Eva'. If you want to replace the effect of Japanese maples, Eva with its lacy
leaves is your choice.

See Black Beauty:
Sambucus 'Black Beauty' - Elderberries
and the 'Eva':
Black Lace Elder - The Plant for Passionate Gardeners

But beware these things grow extremely fast, but can also take extreme pruning.

About pruning: It is recommended, that you prune your elders (either for a more 'bushy' appearance or
to curtail their growth) just about now, before they start next year's flower buds in August.

I have trimmed the one in the picture to about 1/4 of its size yesterday and have no doubt, that it will
be again just as big next year.

Having said all this, the arborist, who trims our tamarisks each spring also pruned back the ‘Eva’ I planted
at the front gate of our strata and it still had quite a few flowers in June.
Good luck,
Olaf

My neighbor across the street has this in his front bed. I just asked him what it was! He pruned it hard today. Thanks for the ID and info. Now I want one....but where to put it? Oh well, that shouldn't stop a real gardener. LOL
