I love Honeysuckle. It lasts in our area (Pennsylvania) from late spring to early autumn, unlike other flowering plants that have short seasons. I love the vines, and the patterns that they make as they grow.
I love the way they smell, and they seem to be very happy plants.
Herbalists use them for fevers, infections, and more. You can see more details here.
The borders of our yard on the side and back are “wild”, and we have natural vegetation and visits from deer, fox, squirrels, rabbits, and tons of birds.
Many people in our area consider Honeysuckle an invasive vine, and the state has published this warning material about it.
People sure do see things differently. LOL
Have a great week,
Sally
I recognize that bush of Honeysuckle!
Great!!
Thanks so much for the comment – I appreciate it
I think I haven’t seen them before. They look delicate and lovely! 🙂
Thanks Ellie. It is possible that they are not found in your area. I don’t know. Thanks for reading and leaving a comment, my dear.
I think I’ve never seen this plant
Hi. Thanks for you comment. Maybe it doesn’t grow where you live. Where are you from?
Very beautiful post – it’s nice to imagine you guys there with natural beauty and the animals. Cheers 🙂
So nice of you to stop by!
Beautiful
Thank you very much
I planted a honeysuckle bush at our church last year. It only had a few blooms this year, but considering how bitter our winter was (a week of temps less than -30 and five weeks below zero) that I’m just happy it came back this year.
That is great Rex. I love them and they bring up happy memories for me. I am glad that your bush survived it’s first winter.
I have Japanese honeysuckle growing on my fence. It is wild and invasive but I love it and so do the hummingbirds!
Thanks Carol!
