Honeysuckle

I have become fonder of Orchids....they were always something that was talked about as being so special but we never saw one unless someone had something special occasion. Now our Home Depot carries them in the spring. I love them.....the plants are origional looking and the flower is so beautiful!

Where I live it's strictly tall apartment buildings, but just a few blocks down from me, it's like a different world...their are private 2-family homes and many have beautiful gardens. In the warmer weather I go out with my camera at hand and just take a long meandering walk all around the area and have a field day photographing all the beautiful flowers and trees ...especially in the spring when the dogwood and magnolia blossoms are out. I'm vowing to myself...when I become a rich and famous photographer/writer that one day I'll have my own garden :)

As a girl in my early twenties I became enchanted by the tiger lilies that grow wild by the side of the road in the northeastern areas of North America. Many people have patches of them around their homes where I live now, and I hope someday I will get a flower bed of my own. I also love poppies, yellow roses, roses in general...

When I was growing up we had a lilac bush up close to our patio door, but my dad dug it up to build a nice deck. I miss it! I alway want one! I love honey suckle too!

I have honeysuckle in my back yard that my mother-in-law planted many years ago. Yes, indeed they smellwonderful. My grandparents had a weeping willow tree and I always wished I had one in my yeard. My siblings and cousins and I loved playing under thatt tree. During the summer months it was our fort, or our hiding place.

Wild Violets, every shape, every color, every size. I just loved (and still do) Wild Violets.

honey suckles are great i remember as a kid i used to take and pick them and suck onthe ends ever do that

Oh yes, i had this fantastic idea that i could one day have a beautiful castle with streams running within and every kind of flowers and shrubs and fruit trees around with little nooks with marble benches! Straight out of the fairy-tale books that i read so much! but to be very fair to me, while passing down the road, i did see some beautiful homes with gardens and huge gates and i wondered what it felt to live behind those gates. in particular i admired (and still do) the beautiful and colorful bougainvilleas that seem to overflow. some people have them over their main entrance and they look so beautiful. i also love the purple color passion-flowers that come to bloom in monsoon. these are climbers and people have these too on their gates and walls. the flower itself is so beautiful and the smell is just heavenly and the moisture-laden monsoon air carries the smell far and wide. i always wished that one day i could have a huge house with gates and bougainvilleas. wishful thinking i know and i also know that gardens and houses of that size require money and time (none of which i have in plenty).

Hi Pam We had a honeysuckle plant in my backyard when I was young. I loved it. My girlfriends and I would pull that little string out of it and suck on the plant it was real sweet. I cant believe we did that. It could have poisioned.LOL Well Im still here so I guess it was okay. I loved the smell of that plant in the summer time too.

Srtawberries. As a child we had a huge backyard that was all strawberries. I mean thousands of plants. Well I've got some finally in my garden. Last summer was the first crop from them. They spread like crazy so this year I shaould have 3 or more times the amount I got last year. I love fresh strawberries. No flowers come to mind except tulips but they really dont have a scent. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I see plants and trees all the time that I would love to have, but I don't know what they're called. I go to the nursery every spring and pick out some new things to plant around my house, but I usually can't find the kinds of plants I've seen. My soil around here is mostly clay, and I have a hard time trying to get things to grow here, and usually only about 10 percent of what I plant survives. Last year, I was planning on ordering plants from catalogs, but i waited too long. Maybe this year, I'll remember before it's too late.

Hello dear friend. Honeysuckle is one of the herbs that we use to help with the sore throat. Its flowers can be prepared and made into tea. In some of the traditional medicines, the flowers of the honeysuckle are used.

Yeppers, I really would love to have a pomegranate bush! And an avocado tree. The only problem with those is that everyone I know who has one has problems with people trespassing to steal the fruit. Makes me feel like in life sometimes we are the windshield and sometimes we are the bug.

Lilacs, I love them and we knew someone who had a big bush and my Mom would get many lilacs to put all through the house and made it smell so good.. Now I have three lilacs bushes of my own and I love it.. And I also like Honeysuckle, I got my first smell of that when I moved to where we are now, so I hope to someday get a honeysuckle of my own..:)

Our area is plagued by insects that can cause sickness like what we called "dengue fever" so i would like to grow plants that is insect repellant i heard some kind of plants of this type but i just forgot the name of that plant and how can i get this kind of plant.

I LOVE honeysuckle! They have the most beautiful scent, so light and fresh. I've been saying for years I'm going to get some and plant at home but I haven't found the time so far. When should they be planted, does anyone here know? We have 2 lilac bushes and I absolutely love them too. Annie

I remember having honeysuckle on the farm growing up. Not only did it have a fresh nice smell. I recall eating the sap from the blooms. Thanks for bringing back a child hood memory that I had forgot about.

Hi AmbiePam:) Yes,there was an old english rose bush that my grand-parents use to have when i was growing up.I loved the fragrant smell of these roses on a big bush,it would fill the summer air with its sweet fragrance,when we moved i wish we could of taken it with us and wa sad to leave it behind,haha,it was big!!3 years ago i finally bought myself one and could not wait to plant it and smell the roses coming in my bedroom window but the summer after it had stopped producing alot of roses,so i left it there,then last year it went "wild" filling out full of pickly thorns everywhere on it and produced no roses at all.The flower store said it went wild and that it was not good no more only to produce maybe 3-4 hot pink roses on it and being taken over by thorns,so i dug it out and tossed it in the woods.It was a difficult procedure to do and avoid getting picked,wow!Now i only admire the neighbours little one with its tiny baby roses on it wishing some smell will float my way,haha!Next time i will buy a hardier rose bush that will not get wild on me,hehe!Instead i got some lilac trees and even a miniture one that has the sweetest smell ever with gigantic lilacs on it,i cut them and bring some in the house in a vase and watch the humming bords out my window go crazy over the nectar.:)Usually if i see a flower,tree,shrub or bush i get it.I order them through a catalogue from another province here and they are shipped out to me.I love it,i get rare ones that no ones else around here does for example a tree which is a lilac.It has a long high trunk with no branches on it and on the top it has a ball with tiny little lilacs that grow on it.Its my favorite one and it grows to be up to 10-12 feet high an the ball about 5 feet wide.:):)I dont have honey suckle though,hehehe!Hmm,gives me an idea,hehehehe!

Yes, sometimes on TV they show these beautiful homes with gorgeous yards and I often wonder if these people really know what they have in front of them. Or, throughout their houses they have huge beautiful vases filled with all kinds of different flowers, in all kinds of interesting bright colors. I couldn't afford to buy those kind of fancy flowers, but once in a while in the middle of winter, I'll go out and buy myself a bouquet for a couple of bucks, just to have some life in the house, if you know what I mean, haha. Usually it's a few carnations with maybe a daisy and greenery..........pretty enough though. By the way, do you own a house?...Honeysuckle can grow just about anywhere, and it is a beautiful fragrance and flower.

When I was young, my mom had a Daphne plant right by the front door. In the Spring when it was blooming the smell would flow through the house every time the door was opened, it was such a wonderful smell! I have always wanted one by my door too!
