Honeysuckle is Blooming Again

My Japanese Honeysuckle bush bloomed a few weeks ago. Then we got crazy cold weather and it stopped blooming. I thought it was gone. But it has started blooming again. This bush started from a small vine about 8 inches long. Amazing how it has taken off over the years. Hummingbirds and butterflies love the sweet blooms as much as I do. Fills the yard with a nice smell for sure. Snapped this photo this morning. Made me happy to see the colors again.

It's so pretty. When I was a kid I love to pull out the middle stem and put it in my mouth and it was a wonderful sweet taste. A tiny taste but so nice.

I'm glad it survived the unusally cold weather. I know that the weather can be hard on plants like that.

I have some wild honeysuckle growing around my home, but it has a yellow bloom.

Most common honeysuckle is yellow. This is Japanese honeysuckle.
