Oh my ... sounds wonderful! I've got all of them but not in the same

Our spring honey suckle has died last year after 8 years. It picked up
a bit but that spot got really dry so I took cuttings and took it all
out. I'm glad because in a way, I had always regretted not to have a
summer flowering variety. Perhaps someone above heard me ;o)
