There is a post on alt.binaries.pictures.gardens by Paddy's Pig
asking what a plant is. I'm sure I know it but can't remember it's
name. It's driving me mad, can some of you please look and see if
you can ID it and put me out of my misery?

Is it a Lonicera of some description?

I don't think so, the trunks look remarkably like that but the leaves
and stems don't IMO.

The trunks reminded me of winter honeysuckles (or fly honeysuckle); the
leaves of Lonicera nitida or Lonicera pileata. But if Lonicera hasn't
struck a chord in your memory, presumably it's not what you're trying to
think of.
