Pink Honeysuckle

Pink Honeysuckle, also called Hairy Honeysuckle, is most likely found in dry and open meadows. A Vine and a member of the Caprifoliaceae Family, it grows on several kiosks (#12 pictured).  Two other native honeysuckles (Rocky Mountain and Orange) can be found on other kiosks.  Pilchuck Learning Center’s sponsored Western Washington State University SAM Project extinction possibility is slight; abundant, native to the Cascadia Floristic Region and grown here and there by those who love this flower. Please consider the fruits poisonous (most red berries are), better to be safe than sorry.
