I still remember my first experience with honeysuckle. We were out at my grandparents', and I found some, and my father showed me how to suck the nectar out.
On one of the paths on campus that I walk almost every day, recently I noticed a very familiar smell. Sure enough, I looked and found some honeysuckle.
I couldn't help myself. I broke off the ends, pulled out the pistils and sucked the nectar.
If anyone saw me, it probably looked so hillbilly, but I didn't care. Honeysuckle is too hard to come by.
