Wild Honey-Suckle

I love to go into the woods in spring and find wild honey-suckle. This is a pink honey-suckle that grows on a large bush. There is also a wild yellow honey-suckle that grows on vines but I haven't seen any around our place.

Dot,
Oh, honeysuckle is heavenly...my husband has brought me bouquets of bush honeysuckle...I had a bush that 'passed away'. A friend brought me another bush the other day...hope it lives....we have the yellow vine type....

Thanks for visiting and commenting on my beepless stove.....Betty

Beautiful! I can hardly wait for the trees and shrubs to leaf out here. It's definitely spring, but the branches are still bare.

does this smell as great as the yellow climber? It is so pretty. Thanks for the clever new blog idea, I am glad to be part of it, my first post is up!

Certainly a contrast between the pretty color of blossoms and the "twigs" they are on!
