The Leycesteria self sows easily so if cuttings don't take look for seedlings. The berries smell of burnt caramel when squashed.

You guys are amazing. Thanks so much!

Not really. It's a very common plant here.

For a relative garden newbie, the fact I can put up a couple photos and get an ID on almost any plant within a couple hours is amazing. :D

As mentioned there are a number of vining honeysuckles with combinations of red or pink and yellow or orange in the flowers. The fact that this one doesn't have many, if any stems with the pairs of leaves immediately below the flower fused into a sort of single leaf will be diagnostically significant.

Does anyone here have a WHITE honey suckle vine? Is this a common one too? It's very very sweet smellng.

More like, intoxicating...!

Thanks.

Very few pure white species although there are number of species that will produce flowers that are more white than anything else. Although they may start out or finish up more in the creamy yellow tones than white. Or with pink tones as well. Japanese honeysuckle is one, as are several of the weedy shrub forms, most of which are considered invasive species.

Even L. albiflora (Western white honeysuckle), a native species, often has flowers of a more cream color than pure white.

Thank you Gradengal. I always appreciate your input. I love this one because it is one of my most fragrant ever. It is ready to open up and always in perfect shape without having to cut it back. It's always so manicured has yet to spread for me. I can tell you that trumpet vine is invasive. I hate that thing. Wish I had never planted one.

How about a picture this white honeysuckle, Mike?

Floral , here you go it never gets too big. I never have to cut it, and it’s the most fragrant honeysuckle I’ve ever had ! Humming birds won't leave this one alone))

That's certainly a very pale one. Looks very healthy.

Floral, thank you. I can't believe how pwerful the fragrance is, Even stronger than my 'gold flame' one which I already thought was fragrant. The thing I like about the white ones is that they make a very nice red berry. Just everything about it and this one does not get powdery mildew while all my gold flame ones without fail every year do.

Sounds like a candidate for propagation. Is the berry cluster bigger than on other honeysuckles?

Floral, sounds like it!

Does anyone know how to name Honey Suckle plants if I post a picture of the flowers?

It seems I have two different types of these in the white. One turns more of a yellow and one more white. One grows a cluster of abundunt flowers, the white one, and the other only 3 at each axil. Crazy

Only a few flowers at each axil sounds like Lonicera japonica.

Graham Thomas is a white/cream honeysuckle similar to yours but I'm sure there are others and seedling plants are variable. I had a white one from my brother who found it growing wild in a hedge.

Oh wow. Here are the pics and thank much!! See the difference? One gets loaded with flowers and the other spaced out. Both powerfully fragrant though and niether ever get powdery mildew even though the 'gold flame' next to them gets it every year with humidity in summer.

This one

The Other

Bottom two show Lonicera japonica, Japanese honeysuckle, an invasive species in much, if not most, of the USA, I believe. Top shows some form of L periclymenum, I would say.

I would say the top is 'Graham Thomas' (L. periclymenum), although mine was more uniformly a buttery yellow rather than the pale cream. Much the same color as the rose by the same name :-) And intensely fragrant!!

That was my suggestion, above, GG but I wasn't sure if there were other similar ones in the USA trade.
