    I'm a bit worried that you've got the wrong thing. I make gallons of elderflower wine and the plant you're using doesn't look like elderflower to me. Leaves look totally wrong. I don't know how to post images but this link (hopefully) shows the leaves as well as the flowers.

        Nope! Not elderflower! Ours are at least 2-3 weeks off flowering.

              Hay fever has turned up this morning, so I know without looking that the elderberries are starting to flower. I will have a look and check later though.

              Please ignore everything I say, I make it up as I go along, not only do I generally not believe what I write, I never remember it either.

                  Not out here yet (Sittingbourne, Kent)
                  I could not live without a garden, it is my place to unwind and recover, to marvel at the power of all growing things, even weeds!

                        Went and checked my favourite elderflower tree this morning - no sign of flowers appearing yet.
                        Happy Gardening,

                          I had a look at the elderflower at the Hill today - I can see the flower buds but they are not flowering yet.

                            I would have made the same mistake. It looks very similar and it's not Mayflower so I wonder what is?

                              My hayfever went after an hour and hasn't come back, I also haven't seen any flowers open yet.
