Sweet honeysuckle

We have an arbour in the garden which is a riot of honeysuckle right now. although I can see that some blooms are finished already - they are two different varieties which scramble up each side and kind of mingle at the top. The local sparrows absolutely love to hide in there and are a source of endless entertainment:


And close up - take a deep sniff :))


The sun is shining here so maybe Summer has returned? I hope so!!! But no sign of Spike the Hedgehog lately - the little ingrate is ignoring the food we leave out for him and isn't being picked up on CCTV either. Hope he's OK - perhaps off on his hols?

  5. Hi Sandra, it's true that the yellow one here doesn't smell either. The bi-coloured (creamy yellow and red) one does smell yummy - it's Lonicera Belgica which is known for the sweet scent and it gets red berries in the Autumn - ha, just realised why the birds like to perch in amongst it, little perishers :) Di xx
