The two yellow thingies with the green tips (apologies for the lack of proper botanical lingo, it has been a few years since undergrad botany, and I haven’t dissected a flower yet) seem pretty distinctive and I have yet to find any image relating to "honeysuckle that looks similar online.
Not ringing any bells, eh? As you can see from the comments, honeysuckle is the only guess I have to go on so far. The berries look similar to some varieties, but not the flowers as far as I can tell.
Doesn’t look like honeysuckle to me, but I haven’t paid much attention to it in over 30 years. As a kid, I’d sometimes pick the flowers, then pull the stem part out of the bottom to lick the nectar.
I suppose you shouldn’t oughta try that, in case that isn’t honeysuckle, and might kill ya.
Pfft. We did that to any kind of pointy-bottomed flower, and we’re still alive!
Maybe not SANE, but alive…
That doesn’t look like honeysuckle at all to me, but I have zero clue what it might be, and worse, I can’t imagine where to look to find out. That annoys me more than anything; big fat interwebs and I’m lacking in ideas where to hunt for it.
Yeah that sounds like the variety I’m most familiar with. Something like this. I loved showing my childhood friends how to tug the stamen out carefully for maximum nectar goodness.
This was the berry picture that seems similar enough to keep it as possibility.
Yep, that’s honeysuckle. The one I know well. Go ahead and wiki it. There’s a milliom of 'em.
Peace,

Yup. That’s the stuff I know as honeysuckle.
And it is wikipedia ftw!
I clicked a couple in the overwhelming list and was just curious about the bearberry variety, and magical chimes there it was, Lonicera involucrata.
Wooties, question asked and answered!
I love this place <3
It’s like browsing through an encyclopedia, though not in alphabetical order.
you browse in alphabetical order?
Holy crap, man!
