Honeysuckle has much been loved through the ages for its sweet scent which, like Jasmine, rises through the night air. It is a very old English flower name, dating back to at least the 8th Century BC. The old name Woodbine describes its twisting winding habits through the woods and gardens, which it does throughout Spring. The Chinese believe that prolonged use brought increased life longevity. Connected to the Lapwing in Celtic lore, honeysuckle resembles the growth patterns of Ivy and the search for the Self. It encourages us to reach for those desires sought, while ignoring distractions and remaining true to personal beliefs and values. During Victorian times, teenage girls were not allowed to bring honeysuckle into the home as it was supposed to bring on erotic dreams. Its clinging nature symbolises the language of flowers, "we are united in love" and emphasises bonds of devotion and affection. On long, warm Summer days and evenings, the air can be filled with the exquisite perfume of this sweet scented climber. It is not surprising that honeysuckle remains one of the most popular of all native wild flowers here in the British Isles.
