Orange honeysuckle
Took the car in to have the insurance estimate done and in their car
park are the usual run of the mill shrubs and amongst them was a fantastic Orange flowered Honey suckle, I've looked on line and find Orange Honeysuckle (Lonicera ciliosa), but is described as having small flowers, and the petal formation is different. See pics, http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...eysuckle01.jpg http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...eysuckle02.jpg Not as good as they could be as I had to take the flower to the camera so about 45 mins without water in the car. It flowere look almost like Montbretia flowers. I am trying cuttings, failing that I will be back for seed. David |

David -- Stewart Robert Hinsley Looked at Dropmore scarlet pictures on line and they vary so much, a couple of them do look like what I found, but it is nothing like what I used to grow as "Dropmore Scarlet" also found thaty pictures of Lonicera ciliosa were nothing like it except for the one posted by Crocus. I will have to go back down with the camera if this blasted rain ever stops. David |

David Without a doubt that is Lonicera x tellmaniana a cross between Lonicera sempervirens and Lonicera tragaphylla, not a very strong scent but wonderful colour and loves a shady place. Fully hardy.

David Do you mean that light drizzle that I've just driven through on the way home from Bridgend - not enough to justify putting the wipers on "intermittent" - just 5 or 6 flicks of the wiper control in 7 miles?

Jake I had a man from Welsh water out to see me this morning, and as we had to be outside it tiped it down almost the whole time he was here. Seems I have to fit "Double checkvalve taps" incase I try to send some of my spare water back into the mains, just wish I could at times. That was around 11am, had to go out to see if I could get the taps around 3pm and I still had to have the wipers on. If I could post the rain we don't want on ebay I would. |

Still I can go back, also want to try some seed as there are no other honeysuckles in the area. |

How internodal is internodal? I suppose I have always taken it as being half way between sets of leaves, but I suppose you could call any rooting that isn't from the leaf node as being internodal. |
