Honeysuckle

Every year, I know that summer is approaching when I smell the honeysuckle plants. The border of my yard is surrounded by them and they have such a wonderful sweet smell. If you pluck a flower off of the bush and put it in your mouth, you can taste the sugary flavor. I guess that is what attracts the bees. I love the smell of honeysuckle, but only in its natural form. I do not like it in perfumes or lotions. When I smell it in the morning, it starts my day off right.
