Honeysuckle/ Today's Flowers

Honeysuckle is a vine I grow in my back garden. It started out as a bargain plant (one that was nearly dead) a year ago. I was pleased (and surprised) that it survived the winter last year. It bloomed beautifully this summer and last week produced a few bonus blossoms. ;-)

Beautiful. I hated honeysuckle when I was a kid because we were constantly fighting it to keep it off of fences. Now that I don't have to do that I think it's pretty. :)

Beautiful! I'll always remember honeysuckle growing outside my bedroom window as a kid. I used to open the window at night and just lay there smelling it's sweet scent. :-) Thanks for the memory.

Yours seems a bity different from the ones I see.. I like nothing better on a barmy summer evening than walking past a hedgerow where wild honey suckle grows... the heavy sented pufume is a joy... and the butterflys and early evening hawkmoth are attracted to them in droves.. Another one of my favourites I've seen on 'Todays Flowers'

It's a beautiful flower do u know the scientific name for it?...

Leora said...

My neighbors have these growing in their backyard, so I love staring at them. Your photo is lovely.

Mary said...

Wow...those are gorgeous! We have the invasive wild type of honeysuckle that you constantly fight. This is really pretty and I assume it is more controlable.

Craver Vii said...

Are you sure that's honeysuckle and not just a pixie pipe organ? That looks great!

Quiet Paths said...

Wonderful! You really caught its essence; I can almost smell it! My friend grew one this year which was tri colored.
