Did I tell you the honeysuckle plant on my first privacy trellis bit the dust? And that I had a bit of a "dust up" with the nursery from whom I bought it? It's too long of an uninteresting story of frustration that I prefer to leave behind, so suffice it to say that I had to go buy another honeysuckle. I did not return to the same nursery...
So the new one looks like it is going to have both yellow and coral blossoms on it - I swear I saw both on it when I bought it. That would be really cool. I planted it on Sunday, and re-strung the lines that I had to cut to pull out the old honeysuckle.
Here it is in place:
It's sort of hard to distinguish it from the shrub behind it...
And here it is, between the poles. The wires (fishline) are blissfully invisible. Blissful, that is, until you forget they are there, and you almost walk into them. Not that that has happened to me, but it could be cautionary tale.
It's gotten a late start compared to the passion flower vine, but I have high hopes. It gets great morning sun. I looked at it this morning, and it looks like its getting ready to put out a bunch of new blossoms. Happy.
