Honeysuckle Blossom CU

It has been very windy lately or raining a lot the past 2 weeks.  I did manage to capture a close-up image of a non-native honeysuckle that was climbing a bush in my neighbor's yard.  It can be very invasive.   I remember my brothers and I pulling out the petals of the flower head and sucking on the end of it because it had a sweet taste.  I don't think our mother knew about this. Taken with Camera + app and added vignette in PSE 11. There is a different cultivar that has blossoms that hang down in a fan shape.  It is red in color. It is considered a native plant in NC.   For info on honeysuckle:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeysuckle.
