Blue elderberries grow wild in the mountains near me, and I just barely got to pick some, for the first time, a few days ago! (I haven’t tasted them yet.) I’ll probably include some dried berries (which contain seeds) in the Serendipity Seed Swap box when it comes to me. 😃

Also, Useful Temperate Plants is a great source. I use that site all the time, too!
