Wordless Wednsdays: What is it?

Can you guess what this is?

Kind of looks like fireworks. Very pretty, I think.

Take a closer look...

Take a step back..

It's Honeysuckle, the viney kind that grows on fences. This is what it looks like in the winter when the flowers die and I assume those are the exposed seeds.

Happy New Year!

  2. Oh wow. I would have never guessed it was honeysuckle. I was thinking it looked like Star Anise. I know nothing about how Star Anise grows, though. Pretty pictures. Happy WW!

  3. You had me fooled. I thought it was a salad covered in lots of sprouts. On the other hand, I wonder if Honeysuckle is an edible plant?

  5. My husband loves to zoom in on the ordinary as well then make me guess what it is he took a picture of. Nice macro on the seeds. Happy New Year.

  10. Honeysuckle.... has berries for fruits. This is a series of photos of the fruits (yes, dry fruits!) of your local _Clematis_ species.

    Happy New Year, from a fellow (botanical) Urban Adventurer! :)

  11. I'd gotten as far as vegetation of some sort, but not the specific kind. If you like honeysuckle, you should visit down here. It's everywhere!
