Sure looks like a Honeysuckle. The flowers tend to turn yellow after they have bloomed for a few days.

Looks like the wild honeysuckle we have here in WV.

Thanks. I thought that it could be Jasmine but I don't think so because it stinks.

Thank you. No, photography has been a hobby for years. I finally had to give up my print film camera last year because I could no longer get the film printed around here. I had a manual Cannon A1 35mm camera with adjustable lenses. My new camera is a Cannon T1i. I am having a very hard time getting accustom to this one but I am pleased at how these pictures turned out. My avatar was taken with my old camera.

Does the bush stink? There is honeysuckle vine that grows wild in our pasture. It is not in bloom yet but when it does bloom is smells good. This bush does look like the wild honeysuckle leaves and flowers but it stinks. It stands about 12-15 feet.

Pictures would make a beautiful quilt. Nice job.

Looks like Honeysuckle to me. I have fence rows full of it. Lovely pics. I saw one fly thru the barnyard last weekend. Absolutely gorgeous and was very large for this time of year.
