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? http://www.flickr.com/photos/89219640@N04/9157837274/ 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? http://www.flickr.com/photos/89219640@N04/9083680100/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/8921964...n/photostream/ -- Charlie, Gardening in Cornwall Holders of National Collections of Clematis viticella and Lapageria rosea cvs http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk |

L mackii doesn't seem to have the perfoliate leaves What about L caprifolium? It's naturalised in Spain and S France so wouldn't be surprised at its presence in Italy Quote:

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 -- Charlie, Gardening in Cornwall Holders of National Collections of Clematis viticella and Lapageria rosea cvs http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk |

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! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |
