Orange Honeysuckle in bloom, photographer Martha Rasmussen
Orange Honeysuckle begins to bloom around Darrington
in Mid-May. You will see the vines with bright orange flowers climbing
Douglas Fir along the edges of the forestland where areas have been
logged and along roads. Where you find Orange Honeysuckle growing, you
will very likely also see humming birds and Swallowtail Butterflies as
it is one of their favorite foods.
