{Our Everblooming Japanese Honeysuckle | Lonicera japonica}

In our wood garden we have an Everblooming Japanese Honeysuckle or Lonicera japonica by its botanical name. Today I made another photo of its blooms. I've used them mid winter for table decoration in our small Delft White Picture Frame Vases for use as individual Place Settings. Link of previous posts with pictures, you find below post...
My husband Pieter did take this photo last year... This shows you the fragrant blooms of the Japanese Honeysuckle | Lonicera japonica.
It grows next to the gate, close to the road side. It always is full with blooms and it must be heaven for hummingbirds, during the season when they stay here. 
This photo I took on January 21, to show you it really is an everbloomer.
You also can see some berries, so birds must be able to feast on them in winter.
A blue wisteria vine is competing with the Japanese honeysuckle in last year's photo. 
Did you notice that the blooms are pure white when just opened and turning more yellow afterwards.
Do any of you have honeysuckle vines?
Or some other vine blooming right now...

  6. Cara Mariette, la Lonicera è super-meravigliosa...la mia purtroppo fa pochissimi fiori ma in compenso il glicine prospera!
    Un caro abbraccio e grazie per questa ventata di Primavera...quà c'è tutto grigio ancora!

  7. Dearest Mariette、
    Wow, such a beautiful "suikazura" I checked the Japanese name(^^;) I love to see the elegant flowers of wisteria. Blooming a bit earlier than here,I think.

    Sending you lots of love and hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*

  9. Honeysuckle is considered anathema here! It tears down the cattle fencing. We try to (well I do, Alpha Hubby hates it) isolate it so it can't spread because I do love the scent! Love wisteria! Visiting from Celia's Falling Off a High Life! Glad I did.

  10. Wat bloeit jullie Kamperfoelie rijkelijk Mariëtte en wat mooi met de blauwe regen er doorheen.
    Wat zal dat heerlijk geuren. Ik heb in ons vorige huis een Kamperfoelie gehad.
    Ik wens je een fijne avond.
    Lieve groet, Mea

  11. Lieve Mariette,

    Waar ik nou ook met jou door jullie grote tuin ga, het is volgens mij overal genieten.
    En zeker met al die heerlijk geurende bloemen die bij elk zuchtje wind je neusgaten vullen.

    Blauwe regen is een van mijn lievelings planten,en tijdens onze vakantie in het Franse Bayet hebben wij dan ook met volle teugen genoten van de weelderig bloeiende gevel van het landhuis waar wij verbleven één blauwe bloemenzee.

    Fijne dag en liefs!!
    Ger

  12. Dear Mariette,
    Nothing blooms in Kansas during January. I'm very much enjoying visiting your page to see the colorful blooms you share. It's making me very excited that in just a few weeks it will be time to start seeds for my spring garden!
    Hugs,
    Katie

  14. Dear Mariette, what lovely blooms you have and I know how fragrant honeysuckle is - a treat for the hummingbirds! I had one a few years ago, but it is gone, so I am looking for another to plant. You live in such a beautiful climate to have flowers blooming this time of year! We are still in a deep freeze, but it is going to warm up later this week. Maybe we will have daffodils in a few weeks. Enjoy your lovely blooms! Hugs, Karen xx

  19. I grew up in the South so there were always honeysuckle bushes. Sweet to have while walking along trails and such. My kids were amazed the first time they encountered one during out summer travels to the States and they got to try its sweetness. They also enjoyed picking blackberries -- something that can't be done over here. Best wishes to you, Tammy
