Thanks, Rita. I will try to remember to look at the bushes while they are flowering next year, and hopefully identity them from the flowers. They are probably not native honeysuckles, since all the bushes planted here by the previous owners of the property are plants traditionally found at small rural garden centers, such as forsythia, lilac, bridal wreath spirea, purple-leaf sand cherry, and hibiscus. I recently planted a native honeysuckle, Lonicera canadensis, in one of my flowerbeds, but so far it has not borne any fruits. When I lived in southeast PA, vining Japanese honeysuckle was invasive there - the birds dropped seeds everywhere! Do you have a problem with Jap honeysuckle in your area?
