Lonicera spp.
Common & widespread in Britain.
Flowers from June-September.
In the UK it is the only native Honeysuckle.
It is often found in woodland, scrubland, and in hedgerows.
The tubular, two-lipped flowers, creamy white or yellowish in colour, may be flushed with pink or red on the outside and in bud, and are carried in showy clusters at the ends of the shoots.
The flowers are highly scented by night, much less so by day.
Foodplants for the White Admiral Butterfly.
