Hi folks. Was wondering if anyone could identify this shrub. We've had it for years but I've never known for certain what to call it.
(Someone told me it was a type of honeysuckle, but the flowers and growth seem wrong to me for honeysuckle. Having no camera until recently I had no means of asking the wider world what it may be.)

Excellent. Thanks BlackBird. Now that I know what it is, I can do a bit more research on it and maybe propagate another one or two for other parts of the garden.
