Sweetnighter

This photo was taken in Southern Ohio. We were traveling a narrow country back road and honey suckle was growing on both sides of the road and clinging to the trees almost forming a tunnel over the road. It’s a climbing vine and can quickly cover and shade out the trees. Honeysuckle smells sweet and always stirs up feelings of nostalgia and brings back memories of warm summer nights when I was growing up. It’s stronger at night. As kids, we would pinch off the flower end and suck the sweet nectar. We have it growing on our property but the scent is not as strong as the honeysuckle that grows in the south.
