A day in the life

Honeysuckle

...or "Kaprifol" as I call it, or Lonicera periclymenum, as the Latin says. Whatever it's called, it's doing much better this year. Last year the flowers dried out and it became of nothing. This year we've had lot more rain but, it's far too big I've learned, it lies on the ground and is about three meters long and a meter thick. What I have to do is to chop most of it away and save a few of the new sprouts to start all over again and this time I'll let it climb onto something, they are said to like that better than lying down.
