Photo de stock - Honeysuckle is woody with serpentine, clinging stem, opposite leaves and fragrant flowers. The broadly oval leaves are short-stemmed, except for the top pair of leaves which have grown together into a bowl during flowering. Honeysuckle blooms in June-July, the flowers are large and bivalve, white to creamy yellow and often have darker streaks of yellow and red. They smell strongest in the evening and are pollinated by swarm butterflies. The fruit is an orange-red berry. . Honeysuckle can be confused with wild honeysuckle (L. periclymenum), but in the latter the top pair of leaves is not fused, but all leaves are free and short-stemmed. Since the cup-shaped upper leaf pair of honeysuckle does not develop until the species forms inflorescences, vegetative shoots of honeysuckle are very often mistaken for wild honeysuckle.
