HONEYSUCKLE...

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

 

More from my garden.

 

Honeysuckle (Lonicera) are popular garden plants with highly perfumed flowers.

 

There are climbing 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, (*_*)
