Tabasco: yeah, if I'd read some of your other posts I'd see that you've got quite a collection already. Duh. Aphids are the pest du jour here on our vines, but are just a nuisance level item.

I have propagated from a native local vine in one of our parks, a yellow form Lonicera sempervirens var. flava (or 'Flava'). I'm not sure if it will be as big a draw as the the species red flowered form, but it'll add to the mix. I plan to try to make more of it...

I also have Bignonia capreolata in the porch vine mix, though I don't have firsthand knowledge of whether it's just pretty or actually plays a part with HBs or BFs.

It's orange, and often reblooms in the fall here. This is July status...
