As I walk each season, each has something new and unique to offer, something of its own and something that, for me, punctuates and symbolizes that period of the year. Now is the time of the Honeysuckle (Lonicera periclymenum), also known as 'Woodbine'. During the day you can pass its delicate flowers, hidden amongst the developing verdance, without noticing them, but come evening time and their heavenly scent is unmistakable. Rich and sweet, to stop and smell a flower or two is a feast for your nose, and sends the mind soaring. For flowers so understated, they really pack a fragrant punch.
