Frostweed and other viewers:
This thread came up in my search for mock orange honeysuckle. Can you guys help me figure out what I actually have?
I was given a shrub labeled "Mock Orange Honeysuckle". I think it is a native plant. I need help in figuring out its true name and identity. I'm trying to figure out whether it would do best planted in dappled shade or in a sunnier spot. It blooms only once, in the spring, and the flowers are smallish, like that of the fragrant honeysuckle, but the leaves are more round. I will post a photo of the plant, but don't have one of the very fragrant white blooms it had in spring. Thanks for any help with this mystery plant.
