Hello everyone hope you and your plants are growing. Here...
Hello everyone hope you and your plants are growing. Here’s an interesting Vine that I saw flowering while mowing in the back of my property this evening. I had to look this up. It’s identified as Japanese honeysuckle. Of course it’s invasive and it was brought into Florida over 200 years ago as ground cover. I thought it looked pretty cool so its took a picture. Who knows how got back here. 🫶👨🌾🪴✌️ #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #OutdoorGrowing #TheWateringHole @HFplantoasis @HummingbirdMint @Idplantthat @ILoveMyPlants @Jadedbelle @Jujube @Luckeecharm1 @ModestCoconut13 @Ms.Persnickety @newplantgirlies @Preciousplants1 @princesspitstop @QuickKalopanax @sarah10orio @Shells_Garden @SillyPlantGirl @SizableSuncup20 @smushface @SolaceInSunshine @RefinedSandwort @Ponytailmom @Blhagmaier @BigPetunia80 @BEsucculent @UnbeatenSoybean @TopCoriander6 @stephongreg @ILoveMyPlants @SpyderLily @Ms.Persnickety @CutePolypremum #TheWateringHole @DreamMachine @ILoveMyPlants @MariansOasis @SillyPlantGirl TOXICITY of Japanese Honeysuckle

I love honeysuckle. They smell so good! And, fun fact you can suck on the end to extract nectar.
