    Hi everyone,
    This is growing over my fence from a neighbouring garden. It has no scent and seems more of a shrub than climber. Its absolutely covered in bees. I'm thinking honeysuckle by the look of the flower but can't seem to find it on the internet. Thanks in advance :blue thumb:

        How interesting.
        I love Lonicera....honeysuckle...shrubs and vines.
        But do not recognize this one.
        It is very late in the year to have flowers.
        Too early for the winter flowering ones.

            I'm going to be brave tomorrow @Silver surfer :yikes: see if I can get a closer photo. The bush is hanging over a 8ft fence and is absolutely humming with bees.

              You are welcome Jasmine. My T'other Half said when he was a kid (many moons ago) there was one behind his house and he and his friends made it into a "tent", I guess a shrub house rather than a tree house!

              Actually, I am currently keeping an eye on a Honeysuckle growing in a rockery suddenly ... it may well be this as I had TH empty some pots in it.

                How lovely, i bet he had some fun in there growing up :biggrin:
                I got up the ladder to have another look but still wasn't brave enough to get a photo. It seems they are 2 different plants growing there.
                The first photo I originally posted is a shrub of some kind that's teeming with bees and the honeysuckle is growing behind it. (Probably why I couldn't find it) :heehee:

                        Snowberries were flowering a couple of months ago and the bushes round here are now covered with white berries and there's no trace of any flowers left.

                        If it is a Snowberry on the other side of the fence, then it will soon be on your side as they spread by suckering.
