Honeysuckles In My Garden
HONEYSUCKLE - Lonicera Caprifolium
The honeysuckle is a right-winded, deciduous, woody climbing plant ( liana ), which can reach stature heights of 2 meters. The flowering period extends from May to July. Each flower head can contain up to twelve flowers. The bracts have grown together in pairs. The hermaphrodite, five-fold, trumpet-shaped flowers are yellowish to white and often reddish.Source
This is a 15-year old climber that has been blooming season in and season out. It does not have a scent though compared to its pink variety. I had to take out the pink climber from an area close to the border of the neighbor´s garden because they told us that the scent is causing their daughter runny nose as she has an allergy to aromas. At any rate, I planted a newbie two years ago next to this yellow variety and it will soon be thriving too.
