Honeysuckle Flower 5:1

History:

Honeysuckle is a trailing evergreen or partial evergreen, depending upon its range; in its southern ranges, it is totally evergreen, and in the more northerly climes, it tends to produce partial evergreen leaves and sweetly fragrant white flowers that yellow with age. This trailing vine bears hollow stems with long, light green, ovate leaves, growing vigorously through canopy trees, reaching a height of twenty feet and ultimately killing the host tree. However, it may also be found growing in fields, disturbed woods, flood plains, urban areas and on forest edges. In other words, it is a very hardy perennial that is even considered an invasive, noxious weed in many states, and its range is constantly expanding farther north, because it is so easily adaptable. Japanese Honeysuckle is an Asian native, originating in Japan and Korea, and has been introduced to the United States and other parts of the world, where there is wide distribution throughout Europe, South America, Hong Kong and where hundreds of other Honeysuckle species grow (including Lonicera caprifolium in Italy and the Netherlands). If you have ever seen children suck the sweet nectar from Honeysuckle flowers, it will be easy to understand how the plant's English name arose. The botanical family, Caprifoliaceae, is derived from two Latin words that mean "goats' leaves," reflecting the fact that this plant was a favorite food of goats and giving rise to one of Honeysuckle's common names, Goat's Leaf. The plant's botanical genus, Lonicera, was given to it by the eminent Swedish botanist, Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778), in honor of Adam Lonicer, a physician, author and naturalist born in 1528. Honeysuckle has been used for centuries in herbal preparations for a wide variety of health.  Some of the constituents in Honeysuckle include tannins, essential oils, monoterpenoids, sesquiterpenoids, saponins, salicylic acid, linalool, geraniol, eugenol, iridoid glycosides and ochnaflavone.
