Honeysuckles...as the name suggests, they ooze copious nectar to attract bees and hummingbirds...some blooms are brilliant, while some are subdued yet fragrant...
Cape honeysuckle (Tecoma capensis)....
The intense orange petals can invite pollinators from miles away....plants are shrub-like, so used as hedge plant...
It looks vibrant, when sunlight filters through its petals....
The beauty is multiplies when orange and yellow are planted together....
Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica)....
White and yellow blooms..rather bland-looking, but are fragrant...plant is mostly a creeper, good for ground cover...
Blooming vigorously in autumn...spreading fragrance...
