Sambucus, also known as elderberry, encompasses a diverse range of plants that captivate with their beauty and medicinal properties. In the painting "Vase of Flowers" by Jan Davidsz de Heem from 1660, Sambucus Nigra blooms gracefully among other vibrant blossoms. Its purple flowered dwarf elder tree counterpart, Sambucus ebulus, adds a touch of elegance to any garden. Native to Europe, the European black elderberry (Sambucus nigra) is renowned for its richly colored berries that are used in culinary delights and traditional remedies. Meanwhile, the seagrape or baygrape (Coccoloba uvifera) stands tall with its unique foliage but does not belong to the Sambucus family. The enchanting combination of an Elder tree (possibly Sambucus palustris) intertwined with dogwood (Cornus species?) creates a picturesque scene where nature's harmony unfolds. The swallow-tailed moth finds solace amidst the branches of this magnificent tree. Intriguingly dark and mysterious is the Black elder tree (Sambucus nigra), which holds both aesthetic appeal and healing properties within its grasp. The Dwarf elder (Sambucus ebulus), on the other hand, showcases delicate clusters of flowers atop compact shrubs. A burst of red catches our eye as we encounter the Red elderberry or red-berried elder (Sambucus racemosa). This variety brings vibrancy to landscapes while attracting birds with its enticing fruits. Finally, we return to the classic Black elder or European elderberry (Sambucus nigra), symbolizing resilience and longevity throughout history. From paintings capturing their allure to real-life encounters in gardens worldwide, sambucus plants continue to inspire awe through their remarkable diversity and contributions to both aesthetics and well-being.
