Eurasian Bush Honeysuckles

Since my first post about the Tartarian Honeysuckle, I have become aware of a more common yellow variant,  Morrow's Honeysuckle (Lonicera morrowii). Here it is at the end of my street, naturalized along the roadside. Now that I know the plant I see it everywhere. Funny how that is.

There a number of these Eurasian bush honeysuckle species and they readily hybridize, so exact identification is not considered important. They are all very invasive and should be controlled.
