Question
I have a Lonicera vine growing in a place where many out of range north american species have been planted. It is very similar to L. dioica, but lacks any red coloration in the flowers. Is there another species I should be considering? The european honeysuckle lacks the fused, rounded leaves.
Answer
Dear lkjones, without some additional information, it won't be possible to identify your plant. Knowing where the photograph is from is crucial. Also, a measurement of the length of the flower is needed. If you can observe the fruit color later in the season, that would also be valuable. You can email this information to gobotany@newenglandwild.org. Best wishes.
