Colorful Coral Honeysuckle is a Beautiful Spring Flower

Every spring the gorgeous coral honeysuckle bushes that are growing in front on one of my neighbor’s fences begin to bloom. Last year they had quite a few flowers, but this year there are even more. Not only are the flowers amazing to look at, but they also attract quite a few pollinators and other insects. I stopped to photograph the flowers one afternoon and spent much more time than I had intended to because I kept finding new things to photograph. I even saw two hummingbirds that came to feed on these brightly colored flowers. Unfortunately, they were too quick for me to photograph, but it was still cool to see them. I did also take some pics of the flowers that I actually stopped to see, and here are a couple from that afternoon.
