Soothing Honeysuckle Tea. My mom has a honeysuckle plant by her front door. The aroma is a sweet and a very pleasant smell, which reminds of honey. I love the smell. This plan blooms in the summertime. There are various colors for the flower from white, yellow, to pink. This plant is quite big because it has a lot of vines with lots of flowers.
