Japanese Honeysuckle スイカズラ（吸い葛、忍冬）

Japanese follows English.　英語の後に日本語が続きます。

Japanese honeysuckle changes its color from white to yellow as Japanese weigela from white to pale pink, then to reddish purple.

Japanese honeysuckle 吸い葛

Japanese honeysuckle 忍冬

This is an interesting flower whose English name means almost the same as what its Japanese name does. Japanese honeysuckle flowers are edible to humans and appreciated for their sweet-tasting nectar.

While Japanese weigera represents "fickleness" because of its changing colors, the honeysuckle means "bonds of love" and "devotion" in the Japanese language of flowers. This is so unfair!

The honeysuckle is the symbol of love in Western countries.

スイカズラ（吸い葛）です。箱根空木が白から淡いピンク、そして濃い紫に色を変えますが、スイカズラは白から黄色に変わります。

花の色が変わるので箱根空木の花言葉は移り気、でもスイカズラは「愛の絆」と「献身的な愛」。なんか不公平ね｡｡｡
