Japanese Honeysuckle Almost Gone

The honeysuckle in my backyard and fence is almost gone for the summer. But it will return in the spring. A few more blooms left on the vine and then it will be gone. The hummingbirds were checking them out today. Thankfully most of what I have in the yard are perennials. They will return. Have a good evening everyone. Enjoy the little things you have in life.

When our lilies are finally gone, my heart gets heavy:( Waiting a year seems like a very long time! Your Japanese honeysuckle is still very beautiful

@CarolDM We had a lovely rain last week, it greened everything up a bit.

We have honeysuckle growing near our big tank. It helps hide it.

I wish I could. This started out as a small vine and has grown into a hedge and coves the fence. Glad you are making progress with the land. Take it easy.

Oh, those honey beauties must smell so fragrant. Parrots come and go and they love it there at the honeysuckle arch in Spring. I know why they keep coming back. Because they keep watch of our apricot and 2 cherry trees.
