Today was a beautiful overcast spring day with a temperature of 68 degrees, We had a mixture of weather this past week between thunderstorms and snow flurries then respectively warm and cold temperatures. The amur honeysukle (Lonicera maackii) does not seem to be affected by the weather because I did not see any evidence of wilting. I noticed that all the plants have finally stopped in increasing their leaf size and the energy is now being used for the flower buds. There were more than 10,000 flower buds on each plant that I think will be ready to burst soon. In the photos below show the plant is very green and the flower buds are still growing before they burst open. All photos by: Karissa Aly
