Someone sent me this picture of a Honeysuckle flowering in Tuscany during
May, It looks similar to some shrubby ones I have seen but I have no idea
of the ID can anyone put a name to it?

If it's a shrubby honeysuckle could it be L. maackii?

Also flowering this June at Spetchley near Worcester this lovely orange
Honeysuckle which I think may be L ciliosa from NW USA can anyone confirm
this?

Never seen this one but can't I say I'm mad on the orange!

Orange is a bit of a Marmite colour isn't it?!

Pictures I can find for L maackii are not quite the same, there are so many
of these shrubby honeysuckles, I am leaning towards L iberica but that's
just from images on the net, would have been good if someone had actually
recognized it
Did you try my suggestion of L caprifolium or was that another non-appearing post?
