It may seem unusual to see a very simple honeysuckle flower on a post that it not really gardening specific. But this one is important to me as I am terrible at growing flowers! I can grow vegetables of all kinds and have, but flowers have always been a problem for me. Some people can grow roses easily, but I have spent time and money and have one rose plant that has lasted for more than 3 years.
I have lots of butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds and they all like honeysuckle nectar. This vine was planted last year and had plenty of leaves and no flowers. I figured that it was just another plant-gone-wrong. But no, this year it looks promising. In Shakespeare's time this was called Woodbine and was considered an evasive weed. Maybe I am just good at growing vegetables and weeds!
