my flowers

These are all native plants - I picked the spiderwort with the honeybee for my submission to a contest which I will doubtless lose... That's ok. Mexican Plum tree in bloom.The last 2 are bluebells, they were amazing but my pic has an unfinished rocky stream in it. And a tomato cage.

I LOVE honeysuckle! Have you ever 'milked' the blossoms for nectar? It's awesome, like nature's candy.

I have on japanese honeysuckle. I really haven't tried on the coral honeysuckle.

I don't know if all are as good but the ones I've done were yellow.

the japanese honeysuckle are all over the US. I raise native plants for the Native Plant Society of Texas, because they are tougher, they take less water and are surviving our extreme weather much better. I lost all my azaleas and half my hydrangeas last year, and i don't even try most of what the big box stores sell anymore because it dies and it dies. So that is why the coral honeysuckle.
