STARBURST... HONEYSUCKLE

 

The Honeysuckle is blooming a second time in my garden.

First it was like a 'crown' but then I photographed it from the top, like an explosion.

 

There are rambling honeysuckles and evergreen shrubby types, which make good hedging plants.

 

Honeysuckle derives its name from the edible sweet nectar obtainable from its tubular flowers.

 

The name Lonicera stems from Adam Lonicer, a Renaissance botanist.

 

The flowers have a heavenly scent and attract pollinators into the garden...as it is magnet for wildlife - this plant provides nectar for butterflies and bees, moths, which it attracts with its nocturnal scent.

 

Birds also eat the seeds.

 

Thank you for your time and comments, M, (*_*)
