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?!

The strange thing is I rather like it in the Leonotis family, so
perhaps it's a question of what I *expect* a plant to be!

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

Sorry but I can only be tentative and that's only because we have L.
maackii in the garden!
