Honeysuckle!


Have you ever experienced the wonders of honeysuckle? This plant entrances me!

I had the most magical day recently in Toronto when I was wondering and sticking my head in the flowers taking pictures, when I came across this unusual beauty. When I went in for a closer look I was entrapped by the intoxicating scent! It smelled so sweet and wonderful and reminded me of jasmine flowers. I had never seen this flower before and was pleased when a stranger caught me plucking off some bunches and he told me it's name. I was in a trance all day from the smell and managed to draw in a few unsuspecting passersby to "stop and smell the flowers".




Now I am pleased to present to you, Fats Waller with a song called "Honeysuckle Rose"...

Very cool juxtaposition of images and song.

their puffy sleeves look like a tribute to the flower.
