Honeysuckle is luring the bee
The honeysuckle is particularly sweet this year, and now covers the whole pergola. The scent is superb, and attracts the bees

Gorgeous! I tried a locinera <sp?> one time. I'm still trying to kill it! Mine didn't produce well and layered itself in a day I swear! I'm still trying to get it out of a garden
Your's is beatiful! Maybe I needed to surround it by concrete huh?

Hmmm...could have been, it was many years ago. That's the reason. I've not tried another. Afraid to

O.C. has several pots
of it growing on his deck next to two small trellises. He has trained them to climb up the trellis and the two were abolutely beautiful. Unfortunately his camera was in the shop when they bloomed so can't post. He knows the bees love them but this year he had an added treat. He had some red Liliums blooming in pots NEXT to them, and the Humming birds went wild for the honey suckle (all 3 of them) Glad I could offer them something besides sugar water..

Lovely! What a nice place to sit.
I'm waiting patiently for my honeysuckle to cover the arbor over the deck. How long did it take for yours to do that? This is the 3rd year for mine, it went up the side quicklly and is very full of new growth, but it's not sprawling across the top as quickly as I'd like.

Start slowly . . . then taper off.

WSell thisa is actually my 2nd year
Planted the sprigs in the tubs last spring when they showed up in my shade bed, I admit it has been a slow go, but has sure been worth it. Right now O.C is having a fit keeping them watered. Has to water either late in the afternoon or early in the morning, just too dang hot to water any other time during the day...
