Goddess of the Garden ~ Honeysuckle
Honeysuckle Flowers in Bloom from My Garden
Honeysuckles are fragrant flowers that exude sweet nectar. Picking a fresh honeysuckle flower and sucking the small bits of honey out of it used to be a joy of my childhood summer outings. This sweet goddess is the nourisher of bees and hummingbirds, a beneficial herbal medicine for summer heat and a must have for fragrant flower fans.

Thanks for giving me a chance to cherish my childhood memories. I almost forgot the experience of sucking the not only sweet but fragrant nectar from the downside of the tubular corolla. We used to eat the flowers of seethaphalam and gulmohur. We even used to eat the bitter sweet neem fruits…:) Those were the days…

Yes I remember this flower and the sweetness on one drop of nectar on the tongue. Chasing butterflies, catching dragonflies and tying them to the string.. I really pity the present generation, we had such a relaxed childhood, nowadays – competition, tension, Poor things.

Looks gorgeous. I never grew up in temperate climates, but had my share of tropical Cape Honeysuckle – orange flowers. Lovely memories.
