Honeysuckle has to be one of my favorite flowers of all time! The scent is hands down my favorite of all smells! We actually planted some in our backyard which is really awesome! The taste is also amazing ^_^.

Any other Honeysuckle lovers out there?

I think I've tried them before. Do they come in red?

XDD Nice try. You didn't fool me. That picture is from wikipedia!

I remeber eating these in West Virginia...but alas...there are none growing in my backyard here in Maryland...

I love Honeysuckle.

We had some on the fence back in Abilene, and there is some at our house up here too.

There are many different varities so it may come in red. I'm not sure.

Ok cool interesting.

Yup! I've tried them long ago. Man were they yummy

I almost wish that they made a cologne (SP) with Honeysuckle scent. That would be awesome!

lol...that would be awsome...I wonder if the cologne would taste as good as the nectar?Hmmm...

They smell good, but I never understood the taste. Guess I ate them wrong.

Well... it would probably be poison... so even if it was good it would be the last thing you'd taste! Is cologne generally poisonous?

I bet it's rare for ingesting cologne to kill you unless you ingest quite a bit of it, but it can definitely harm you by ingesting some:

I have some in my back yard.
I love that scent.

If summer had a smell that would be it.
I think it must grow wild around here. Because right now, you can just walk out side anywhere and smell it.

WOW... and we put this on our bodies?!?!?
Hehe. I use cologne, and I'm not worried, but I'm sure glad that I didn't try to drink it in my foolish youth!

You really should! They taste like light honey drops of Heaven! take the end green part and pull it out. A drop of nectar should be on it. Taste and experience the awesome!
