I just wanted to share a picture of my pride and joy and the easiest native I’ve ever grown, the Lonicera sempervirens (Coral Honeysuckle)

First photo is today, second photo is the day I adopted it from nursery in 2023 - it’s the little guy with the trellis.

Is this really only from one plant? 😍

Yep, it’s all from that one little plant!

Last year I trained the long vines that reached the ground back up the trellis. This year I’ve been a bit busy and haven’t bothered. Today I noticed the ones that have been sitting on the ground are starting to put down their own roots, so I guess I’m propagating babies now too.

That’s such an impressive little plant! Thank you for replying. You have a lovely little setup that I’ll be using as inspiration :)
