Great banner, Rita. Honeysuckle has a wonderful fragrance which I love.

I love the two colors together. Great banner Rita.

The hummingbirds here would love those flowers Rita. Lovely banner.

Arlene,

Coral Honeysuckle (Lonicera sempervirens 'Major Wheeler') is a fantastic one to get!

Coral Honeysuckle (Lonicera sempervirens 'Major Wheeler') (non invasive)

I've been growing it for several years, I love it and so do the Hummingbirds!

Hummingbirds are beautiful flying jewels in the garden!

I can attest to that! I have Major Wheeler & it does great for me. Came from Rita.

It does great all the way down here in hot Florida.

Not sure if that's what Jen has or not. I'd better check. Thanks for the info!

I have one of the varieties of honeysuckle, not sure which, but we love the foliage as much as the blooms!

and it does excellent for me too.

Thanks everyone. I do really like Honeysuckle vines and so do the hummingbirds. In fact I would say for anyone wanting to attract hummers that honeysuckles are a must have. I have many different varieties. Both of trumpet honeysuckles and of ones with the common honeysuckle shape flowers.
