Thinking About Honeysuckle Image
There are honesysuckles native to almost the entire world -- like there are people. It is known for its fragrance, medicinal qualities, and beauty. But move one species from one place to another and it becomes an unwanted, undesirable, overbearing, clinging guest that is almost impossible to get rid of. Like unwanted house guests... reminds me of my ex-wife actually, in more ways than one... but you'll hear about that next.

It is an educational experience to study this plant because you have to recognize and confront its schizoid qualities. It's all over the place, but when it's good its very, very good, and when its bad, its very, very bad. Honeysuckle feeds birds 'n bees, 'n moths, 'n butterflies, 'n other critters, and some of them live in its shady hidey places. It makes people happy, even falling in love on a nice evening walk, and, as you'll read below, some herbal doctors use it to help people cope with the past because it can sooth them out of their fixations on such stuff. But, it grows like crazy when it's where it isn't supposed to be, drowns out the sunlight and kills the plants it grows on or around, destroys the food and housing for the animals that depend on the native plants, and generally takes over and destroys native habitats.

So, honeysuckle is great in the garden, and in nature, when its various species are in their homelands (because the climates there keep it in its place), but its hell on wheels once it gets outta hand in a more luxurious climate - kind of like all the tourists from the mainland when they get to Honolulu or Maui, Hawaii. Ugghhhh.

The lesson I get out of studying honeysuckle is that how we look at or value something - whether its good or bad, favorable or unfavorable, desirable or undesirable - depends on the circumstances. I gotta say, this has to be a feminine plant.
