A short walk in autumn produced some flowers as below.
This sweet-scented flower is a universal favourite with people. It is a deciduous climber, twining clockwise. The flowers are in terminal heads, yellow, yellow-pink or red; leaves are broad, not serrated, opposite in pairs, each pair lying in a plane at right angles to the next; the berries are red.
Honeysuckle is from Old English "hunigsuce". It is also known as woodbine.
The generic name "Lonicera" is after sixteenth-century German botanist Adam Lonitzer. Its specific name "periclymenum" is from the Greek "peri", around, and "klymenon", a tendril, which indicates its twinning habits.
