Lonicera japonica

Japanese honeysuckle - This woody trailing or climbing vine resembles its bushier relatives, with egg-shaped, entire, opposite leaves. The very fragrant, tubular white flowers, aging to yellow, appear from late spring to autumn, followed by black, juicy berries. Japanese honeysuckle is a true generalist and its longtime popularity as a garden plant has made it ubiquitous; having escaped from neglected cottage yards, it is now found often along roadsides, in thickets, twining up trees in woodlands, and at the edges of fields.
