Can anyone help me with the identification of this shrub plant. It is one of the early plant blooms for our area. I got clippings from along the interstate median. It looks like the mature shrubs were around 8' tall and the blooms are very fragrant.  Uploaded with ImageShack.us |

Post it to the gardening section, "Discuss plant ID here", or maybe an admin will. I think it looks like Honeysuckle. I tried to find the ones I took of mine but I cant. Sorry!

After looking through pictures of Honeysuckle Im not sure. When mine bloom, the blooms are tubulor. The leaf looks like honey suckle. Hopefully other will post their thoughts.

I know it is bit invasive but native. Henbit is a great early source.

Around here we call it Japanese honeysuckle, grows in a bush, the blooms are a bit shorter than the vine type of honeysuckle. Ours has just about come and gone and the vine type is just starting to bloom now.

If it is the same as the bush honeysuckle that is in bloom around here now also, it is not the same as the kind in the link above. The fragrantissima type will be blooming coming out of winter a month before the the native ones start, that are in now. I found plants that shipping will kill the idea of planting a bunch. The cheapest will be from seed that I planted half the bag in the ground to see if they will grow naturally and the rest I will try to germinate. |

Plant Nanking cherries, mine are blooming and the bees are going crazy. They are the earliest stuff going on here. They put on blooms before leaves. Harold

Yes they are nice to keep the bees busy. I have a row of them beside my garden, but they are over for the year of blooming in my area. |
