    These have opened fully since this pic was taken a week or so ago. The scent is heavenly. They cover a pergola under which we have a picnic table for the barbeque :)

    Just catching up - why do I think (well, I know different now) that honeysuckle is always yellow? Looking at yours and hearing about the smell is really making me think.

    I have, for some reason, not wanted any for my trellis but am thinking of changing my mind. Can I have it in a pot? You know what my garden is like by now:)

    cheers
