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?

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?

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

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

A possibility is L x tellmanniana which is widely sold. Mine, which came from a cutting from a friend, is certainly pretty orange. No small, sadly.

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?

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!

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!
