Atmospheric and pretty! How big are those flowers? I've never seen a Russian Olive.

Thanks! We're getting into the time of year for interesting light. The flowers are about an inch and a half across, on bushes about four feet high. Technically they're neither Russian nor olives, though they do have clusters of little, greenish, slightly hairy fruit.
