I've got a little "hedge" of 'Biokovo' along one edge of the driveway, and it's lovely in bloom or not! My 'Biokovo' is white... is it the lighting, or are the blooms on yours more lavender/pink? I've got a couple of shorter geraniums, too... one called 'Tiny Monster' and another pass-along one that survives very well by the mailbox (and you all know about the "inferno strip" between sidewalk & road where the hose doesn't really reach). A friend gave me some divisions of "big root geranium," and they're really tough also!

The honeysuckles are definitely not L. japonica. I can never remember the species name of the coral honeysuckle without looking it up, but both it and L. americana are different plants from the invasive one... they may grow thuggishly large, LOL, but they're not invasive like that.

Ah, found it... Lonicera sempervirens, that's my super tough, nearly evergreen Coral Honeysuckle!
We're all learners, doers, teachers.
