I don't think I've ever seen a blackhaw. At first I thought it was a hawthorn, but looking closer, it's definately not. Curious now what the flower cluster will turn into in the autumn, what color the berries will be? What a beautiful flower cluster. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a blackhaw.

There aren't too many others. I wonder why that is? Nature’s surprises are grand aren’t they.
