I have a couple bushes in my back yard that are flowing and I don't know what they are. It seems like there are two different varieties of the same plant. One has white/ light pink flowers and the other a fuschia color. The buds come out in pairs similar to a cherry blossom. They have distinct yellow stamens (about five per flower) and five to six dainty petals. Do you know what it is?   |

 Both are Honeysuckles (Lonicera) Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming...."WOW What a Ride!!" -Mark Frost President: Orchid Society of Northern Nevada Webmaster: osnnv.org |

| Hi Jaybar2358, from me too! I agree with Daisyl, both appear to be Honeysuckle (Lonicera species). We have many listed here in our database with photos for comparison: https://garden.org/plants/brow... ~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt! ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! |

| @Jaybar2358 , I was just coming on here to post the same question. I have white, yellow, pale pink, and medium pink varieties of this blooming like crazy all along my property right now and I didn't know what they were. Thank you for posting your question. (And welcome to NGA!) @DaisyI and @Plantladylin , thank you for the answer and confirmation! I can't believe how many honeysuckle we have growing here!! I haven't seen honeysuckle since I was a kid! Dumb question, but just to confirm.... Is this honeysuckle edible to humans? Or is this a wildlife-only variety? |
