Red Elderberry

Red Elderberry is a new species I have added to the Oasis. I have also tried the Blue Elderberry, which has struggled in my climate.  The native Iowa one that grows everywhere is the American Elderberry.

Salt Cedar Flowers

Salt Cedar attracts a lot of insects to its flowers. This shrubby tree is considered invasive in some west parts of the country, but behaved mostly elsewhere.
