Honeysuckle Honeysuckle!
Never have a care!
For the sweet scent of Honeysuckle
is perfuming all the air!
----------------------------------
And now for a How-To on Proper Honeysuckle Sucking....
a skill I learned as a kid as I'd stop off my bike to get a taste on almost every corner where the honeysuckle hung...
Only later did I learn this Japanese Honeysuckle is invasive in the US (you can find it everywhere around here!)- all the more reason to start picking!
Step One: Delicately pick a fresh, sweet Lonicera japonica or Japanese honeysuckle flower at its base, with care to not tear the pistol.
Step Two: Pinch the base of the flower, so that you can gently slide the pistol out the bottom.
and then start sucking!
and tasting the sweet nectar of life!
enjoy!
