Cropping up.
Back in the Cabernet sauvignon vines, still stuffing shoots, bloom is progressing nicely and seems to be on track. It has been quite a windy spring, breezier than normal, but not too windy as to be detrimental to fruit set. A little breeze can help distribute pollen form the anthers to the ovaries; quite beneficial as the grapevine's flowers are hermaphroditic (or the 'perfect' flower). Carry on Mother Nature, you're doing a good job.

They look like elderflower.
Thud: They do a bit, don't smell nearly as strong though.
