in nature •  7 years ago 

The Hairy Vine Honeysuckle (Lonicera hispidula) is a native California perennial. It is a crawling vine with oval leaves 1-3 inches long and tubular pinkish-purple flowers about 1 inch long. It produces dense clusters of red berries. Hairy Vine Honeysuckle provides nectar for humming birds and its berries are enjoyed by many different types of birds.IMG_0912.JPG

Another close up of bloom. Most of the flowers were closed :( not sure if it was the time of day or season.

Working through more pictures from Morgan Territory Regional Preserve, June 2018. What a beautiful place to hike!

I love wild honeysuckle @steven-patrick although I've not heard of the hairy vine variety. Does it have a lovely scent? That's my favourite thing about them usually.

Yes the scent is nice and yes the thing I'm finding about native California plants is that many of them are a particular variety of a plant found in many parts of the world.

Beautiful******
