Trees, Shrubs and Conifers: The Good Honeysuckles, 1 by Decumbent

This is a family that gets destroyed in most horticultural discussions because of the invasive tendencies for a number of species. However, there are some good honeysuckles, including, I was surprised to learn recently, some natives. Frankly, I don't know much about these plants. Here is a shot of Lonicera x tellmanniana, which has these nice flowers for a relatively short period of time. "Dropmore Scarlet" blooms forever and, although it sets some fruit, has shown no invasive proclivity. In fact, I I haven't even been able to germinate the seed from it intentionally.

I'm hoping others will have things to add here.
