Hi All- I originally picked this from a neighbor's plant growing through the cracks in my fence to use as foliage in a flower arrangement. A week later, it had grown roots in the water! So now it's in soil and growing like... a weed. But I hope it's not! I've kept my eye open all around the neighborhood and different garden centres but I've seen nothing like it yet. Any help is greatly appreciated!

| Do the leaves smell if you rub them and does it have any sort of flower?

Liz, would it be possible to get a pic from the other side of the fence?
Possibly a couple to show the whole plant and one of the flowers.

Thank you all so much, I am delighted!  I absolutely adore honeysuckle but don't have any of my own yet. I had another look through our neighbor's fence and there are a few things there (she is another keen gardener) and sure enough- some honeysuckle.
The leaves don't smell right now, but I'm hoping that's because these little offshoots are pretty young and furry right now.
