5. we had two honeysuckle fences when I was a kid. The first one, in a house we lived in for 5 years. The second was on the farm.

   • Good to see you! Thank you, I enjoyed them growing up as they grew wild.

10. since the olfactory sense ties into our limbic brains, smells are more likely to trigger intense memories than any of the other senses…

    • You are right and these flowers definitely have a smell.

      1

      • which is odd, since smell is our weakest sense

        • Can’t explain it, but those memories can take me right back to a moment in time.

          1

          • there is a solid scientific explanation for it, but that doesn’t make the experience any less mystical

11. I love hummingbirds. Sunflowers take me back to my childhood. We had several planted next to the driveway; and I and my friends used to stand there and eat the ripe seeds from the flowers.

14. Beautiful pictures for beautiful flowers, Carol.

    The flower that often brings me to childhood is plumeria, coz there are rows of those flower trees all the way to the school.

    • Thank my dear friend Albert. They smell absolutely wonderful as well.

      Plumeria is stunning. I had a friend in Florida once that had one growing. It was lovely.

    • Thank you. I know I share these flowers often but they are just so cool to me. The kitty also brings good memories.

20. Honeysuckle has a beautiful aroma when in bloom. … The flowers have a sweet nectar that is delicious, but that is the only part of the plant you should eat. The berries are poisonous

      I never eat any blooms.

21. Nice photo of honey suckles!!
    Well, flowers hardly brings back memories
