I've always loved this plant, especially the smell. And that patch of blue sky is more than I've seen in days.

I do love the scent of honeysuckle too. We've waited a long time for that patch!

Yes, the smell is a delight. I never knew that Honeysuckle was also called Woodbine, which by the way I associate with tobacco!

I've but rarely seen Honeysuckle in Sydney. I'm quite thrilled when I do; it reminds me of England and it's such a treat for the eyes and nose besides. Jasmine is more common here and lovely but I think of it as the less subtle cousin of Honeysuckle.

It truly has a glorious scent and I love the unusual looking flowers. Much as I like Jasmine this is the scent for cooler climes!
