Mexican Honeysuckle

This morning I enjoyed some time working in our flower beds.  I am trying very hard to be better at nurturing our plants.  Hoping that they have a wonderful blooming season,  stay disease and bug free and don't die.  I know that is a fall order considering I am a complete novice with gardening!  

When I saw these Mexican Honeysuckle bushes last spring, I fell in love with their yummy orange color and their spiky appearance.  Every flower on the bushes were so unique looking in the various stages of blooming, it was hard to choose which photo to blip.
