Japanese honeysuckle is starting to bloom in my garden. It is on the fence not far from the hummingbird feeder. They love the sweet nectar from the blooms. The butterflies and some birds enjoy the blooms as well. And I love the sweet fragrance. Takes me back to my childhood. I like having plants in my yard that evoke good memories. Nature is so rewarding. This honeysuckle bush started out as an eight inch long vine on my fence. It has turned into a bush that comes back each year with more blooms. A definite must have for your garden. As the days go by there will be more yellow in the center of the pink. That is where the nectar comes from.

Great photo….very nice! I viewed earlier but couldn’t comment (my phone, not virily).
Thanks I love seeing these blooms. The hummingbird feeder is close, so they really enjoy it.
It’s great that it’s finally time to see them 🙂
Yes the weather has been crazy this year but spring is finally here.
It definitely has been….here too! The spring weather is a nice change for sure!
Wow Carol! Do you have the Botanical Garden in your backyard? Cos what you have is like part of the Garden of Eden.
Ha! No they are all just scattered, this one is on my fence. Thank you my friend.
I was just thinking about getting a few plants. I love honeysuckle. The flowers are so pretty, even the white, and that smell is so awesome.
I got this little vine about eight years ago and it continues to grow.
I’ve never seen red honeysuckle before. It might be fun to plant some next to my star jasmine and let them fight.
This is actually a dark pink and is just starting to bloom, there will be yellow and white mixed in when it is done.
Sounds beautiful! I’ve only seen the pale yellow. I saw some growing at the park last night.
I found this species at a local nursery and am so glad I got it.
The nature’s amazing! I love the colour of the flower!
Thank you, it will change colors soon and I will update.
Carol I love the picture, you captured the “bud” perfectly!
Thank you so much, the sun was very bright.
it looked bright in the back ground. Nice capture!
Here we find more in yellow and white. I like him too.
This one will have yellow when it matures.
I like the smell of this plant, we call it ‘eagles’
Oh really! That is so cool to know.
Honeysuckle is one of my favourite plants. It smells so lovely.
Thank you, I love this one too you can smell it everywhere in the yard.
