Honeysuckle
http://www.durgan.org/URL/?LIZVZ 26 May 2012 Honeysuckle(Lonicera tatarica)(Arnold Red)
This pretty shrub flowers yearly. There is no scent to the flowers. No bugs attack this plant. Very late blooming this year. Strictly ornamental. |

Oh how I miss the days of my youth, at the house I grew up had 100 ft row of honeysuckle vines along the fence.. I loved the smell and drinking the nectar. I must try to source a few vines/bushes.
