honeysuckle
Sweet-scented climber
Honeysuckle is a climbing or shrubby plant known for its fragrant, tubular flowers that produce sweet nectar.
Children often pluck the blossoms and suck the nectar from the base of the flower—hence the name.
The plant grows vigorously and can become invasive in some regions, though it remains popular in gardens for its fragrance and ability to attract hummingbirds and butterflies.
The honeysuckle along the fence filled the evening air with sweetness.
