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.

One of my neighbors told me not to do that with wild honey suckle. He said there were poisonous species of honey suckle out there. I somehow doubt that. Usually nature doesn't make poison so... tasty. Ya know?
