Honeysuckles Are Blooming

A couple of weeks ago I shared one of my Japanese honeysuckle blooms just starting to bloom in pink. Today I noticed the blooms are starting to fill out. They are so pretty with the pink and yellow blooms. They start out solid pink (link below) and then turn to pink and yellow. And the smell is so sweet all over the yard. The bees are visiting and the butterflies and hummingbirds will be here in a few weeks. My favorite time of the year. Every day brings new signs of hope. Sharing the smiles with you.

@JimBo452020 Nature still takes over, Humans are merely parasites that cannot hold up to the persistence of nature.
