Take a look at the flowers of Coral Honeysuckle (Lonicera sempervirens) and you might think, the perfect flower for hummingbirds. Yes indeed, but there are many other pollinators that enjoy the flowers, including many bees and butterflies.

The perennial vine is the host plant for Spring Azure butterflies and Snowberry Clearwing moths.

And a beautiful addition to the woods in spring and summer.
