I googled images with "honeysuckle" and the flowers look similar to your pic, but the leaves don't look like what I remember ?? http://www.google.com/search?tbm=isc...i=g10&aql=&oq= This is the japanese honeysuckle: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=...w=1150&bih=583 but, as I look through all the pics, it looks like there are a LOT different kinds of them, and in some states they are considered "unwanted" . Maybe this is it? http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=...0&tx=112&ty=91
