Amur honeysuckle
This is Lonicera maackii, not a native but an import that has become very invasive. It was introduced in the 19th century as an ornamental and also to stop erosion. Now it has become the dominant understory in woodland in the eastern half of Kansas. These flowers are considerably magnified. They actually are only about an inch across.
Glad you liked the iris yesterday. We had had rain, I did not go out with a spray bottle although I may be reduced to that before summer is out. Thank you for all the stars and nice comments.
