Sweet-smelling flowering vines

Honeysuckles is the plural of honeysuckle, a climbing or shrubby plant known for fragrant tubular flowers that produce sweet nectar.

Children often pull the flowers apart to taste the drop of honey-like liquid inside.

The scent of honeysuckle evokes summer evenings in many temperate regions: The honeysuckles along the fence were in full bloom.
