Wow, Randi, I didn't know Honeysuckle would grow that far north! I don't know anything about apple blossoms, but I sure do like Viola's!

There are a few varieties that are pretty tough. My Zone is a 3 (same as a 4 in USA I think) but I can usually go 1 zone higher in my yard. I love the violas too, they have been flowering since mid April .

Beautiful blossoms! I might have to try my hand at bluebells in the not to distant future!

i know if you pull them up and run over them a few times they multiply.

Oh, is that only in a southern evironment or is that true everywhere? I honestly thought honeysuckle was strictly a southern plant, they are apparently a lot hardier than I was aware of - my bad. Thanks for the explanation, Beefy.

Thank you!! I really like my digital camera, I can see what I am getting, and then I can delete anything that doesn't turn out. Plus, you can then fix them on the computer ;-) by trimming, and adjusting the lighting. Flowers are easy anyways since they can't run away

Yes, there are some very hardy varieties. This one is a bush type. Aome of the more colorful varieties aren't as tough up here though. I love the scent, and it doesn't seem to be taking over the garden either.
