      Honeysuckle is a very sweet smelling vine.
      It grows quickly. Sometimes too quickly, it is like a
      weed. Any part of the vine that lands on the ground
      will take root. Now, I don’t take special care when
      weed-whacking near them. They are hardy.
      But they sure smell sweet!!
