Garden Bloggers Bloom Day March 2010

I posted so many pictures yesterday, that I wasn't sure I'd have anything for Bloom Day, hosted by May Dreams Gardens.  But then I remember these pictures that I took of this bad boy shrub,  an amur honeysuckle.   This small (obviously young) plant was left  between our yard and our neighbor's when our neighbor removed the dogwoods, sassafras, azaleas and other small trees and shrubs last fall (see my blog post here about that).  After reading about this honeysuckle shrub, it may not stay long in my yard.  But my, what a fragrance!  And the blooms really are pretty.
