Re: Out & About...

That's exactly how they market S.n. Black Lace, "...reminiscent of a Japanese Maple with its lacy purple-black foliage." - This from the wholesaler's catalog when they debuted S.n.'Eva' a couple of years ago. It's on the cover of their catalog.

I have this plant, Sambucus nigra "Eva" It is so beautiful. It has started to come up all around it .. little babies but I don't mind, I would love to try moving some to other places in the yard. I did try root pruning it this 
year to see if I can move some successfully.
In western Oklahoma I think of it as my Japanese Maple that I can't grow. I have mine in a lot of shade and maybe it would flower better if it had more 
sun... but it would need more water then.

We went nursery hopping this morning. We wanted to get some vegetable
plants--peppers, eggplants, a cherry tomato--and see if there were any
field-grown pansies left [nope]. We also wanted to kinda look around  for
ideas. Three junipers have died in one of the street-side beds and  we're
having a line of five incense cedars along the back fence limbed  up on
Monday, so we've got some interesting areas to think about. So,  mostly,
we were just window shopping.

We saw a black elderberry [Sambucus nigra "Eva," which is definitely  on
our list to consider planting somewhere].

On the way home, we took a detour and went by Schreiner's iris  nursery.
It's mind blowing. They have a few acres of demonstration  gardens where
one can wander, picnic, photograph, whatever. Mainly, of  course, it's a
show case for their irises, but the beds are chock-a- block
flowers--irises, lupines, columbines, poppies, herbaceous  peonies,
delphiniums, alliums... masses of spectacular color every  where you
looked. And, of course, I hadn't brought my camera.
