Lonicera ciliosa

Orange honeysuckle is one of the very few species of native northwest vines. It’s one of the most potent hummingbird attractants, with its lightly-fragrant, tangerine-toned, trumpet-shaped flowers. And, as the name suggests, it is also favored by children who have adored sucking the sweet nectar from the base of the flowers for longer than anyone could possibly know. Beyond hummingbirds, the flowers will entice a plethora of insect pollinators, the vines provide nesting and refuge opportunities in spring and summer, while the orange-red berries are an excellent source of food for birds and small mammals in fall.

  • Size at maturity: vine can grow up to 30’ long
  • Light requirements: part sun/part shade, full shade
  • Moisture requirements: moist to dry soil
  • Bloom time: April to July (May - July in the Portland Metro area) 
  • Growth rate/ease: fast growing, moderately easy to grow
  • Wildlife support: flowers attract and provide nectar to hummingbirds adult butterflies, bees and other insect pollinators; berries are eaten by a variety of birds including robins, juncos, flickers, and finches; overall plant attracts beneficial and pest eating insects and is a caterpillar host and larval food source for likely over a dozen species of native butterflies and moths including the Variable Checkerspot moth, the White-lined Sphinx moth and the Hitched Arches moth. In Snohomish lore, crows are said to swing on the vines and it is known as “Ghost’s Swing” or “Owl’s Swing” in Coast Salish languages.
  • Native habitat/range: relatively common growing in open woodlands, forest edges, north-facing slopes and streambanks, from sea level to 2000m, on both sides of the Cascade crest from western British Columbia, throughout western Washington and Oregon, into northern California - but also can be found in the Idaho panhandle and neighboring Montana; and isolated communities in Utah and Arizona. Portland Plant List - yes. 
  • Special features & uses: hummingbird magnet; drought-tolerant; ethnobotanical uses include using vines/stems as building materials, fiber, twine and as a black dye; medicinally, an infusion of bark or chewed leaf juice has been taken as a cold remedy and to treat sore throats, in reproductive health to strengthen the uterus, stimulate lacteal flow, as contraceptive, as a tuberculosis remedy and a general strengthening tonic, an infusion of crushed leaves can also used externally as a strengthening tonic, especially for children with epilepsy, and as a hair wash to encourage growth, improve hair strength and sleekness, a poultice of chewed leaves can be applied to bruises, vine pieces have been placed under pillows to induce sleep; landscape uses include habitat hedgerows, pollinator gardens and woodland gardens.

Gardening with Orange Honeysuckle: Orange honeysuckle tolerates a range of light and moisture conditions; part sun to full shade and moist to dry soils. That said, as will many species that are so forgiving; the more sunlight it gets, the more moisture it will appreciate. So, plants located in most-to-full sun are more likely to require supplemental water to maintain their vigor in the hot, dry summer months. If it’s not in too much sun, and the soils are rich enough to retain a reasonable amount of moisture, it can be quite drought-tolerant, once established. Example companion plants include creeping vine maple (Acer circinatum), oceanspray (Holodiscus discolor), Oregon grape (Mahonia nervosa), Nootka rose (Rosa nutkana), western meadowrue (Thalictrum occidentale) and fringecup (Tellima grandiflora), and streambank violet (Viola glabella). 

In the wild, orange honeysuckle is a sprawling vine. So, be prepared to give it structural support, such as a trellis or arbor, as well as some ongoing training to achieve your desired look. Best case scenario, young happy letting it ramble freely along a fenceline, habitat hedgerow, or through the edges or your woodland garden. Generally honeysuckles are adored by aphids. If this is an issue for you, check curled leaves and spray off with water to remove small infestations. Or just leave them as food for the ladybugs and birds.

Very comfortable in the Texas heat.
Size: Small, Color: Black/Navy/Dark Purple/Red
I got some of these as a gift and I loved them so much I purchased two more packs. I just opened my new packs and put them in the washer so I'm not leaving a photo. When I wear them they look exactly like they do on the models. I've been doing a lot of heavy outdoor work in the heat and I get drenched. These underwear have a 100% cotton crotch and the rest is 95% cotton and 5% spandex. When I first saw the wide crotch I didn't think I would like it. But these are soooo comfortable. I'm 4'11" and weight 108-112 and the size small fits loosly but well. I could probably get away with an XS but I like this loose and not too tight fit. I see some folks say these roll up. They don't roll up on me. I think they might roll if they were tight fitting. I have lots of other undergarments like these and some roll and some don't. But none of the others are cotton. They are mostly spandex and since I've found these in cotton that's all I'm wearing until summer is over. I can't feel them or see them under pants or skirts. These look more like shorts than underwear and they have a very nice thickness. Since I only had four pair to begin with, those got washed and dryed a lot. I can't tell if they shrunk since I only tried them after washing. Sorry I forgot to compare the size of the new ones to the older ones before I threw them in the washer. I'll probably buy another set and compare at that time. One thing I can report is that they do not fade at all. I just washed the black, purple and red colors with the white color and the white is still completely white. Now I have more colors and I'll probably be walking around in my underwear and no one will know. The only con I can think of is the wide crotch wouldn't work well with pads with wings, in my opinion. Try a size larger for a nice cool pair of sleeping shorts to see how they fit while they are on sale. Then go smaller if needed. I think you might enjoy these.

So comfortable and worth the buy
Size: Large, Color: Black
So comfortable!!! There is no seam in the butt and under neath, only in the front but it is really soft and non irritating. I got these for post partum but I’m already wearing them at 8.5 months pregnant. They’re probably my favorite undies right now. The length is also perfect and the material is very soft and stretchy. The waist band is the same, soft and stretchy.

Cotton Blend Was Just Too thick
Size: 3X-Large, Color: Black
I was surprised by how thick these boxers were, thicker than my jeans, much thicker than my PJs! Thick enough that I could wear them outside the home without jeans. In spite of the thickness, they were soft and very comfortable. The 3XL is a perfect fit on my 5’2” apple shaped, short waisted 215 lb body. The boxer cut helped prevent chafing, a major plus. Menstrual pads, with or without wings, do not adhere to this material, a major minus. Ultimately, feeling like I was wearing jeans to bed or wearing two pairs of pants outside the home, was just too uncomfortable for me. So disappointed because these boxers were such a great and comfortable fit.

This are the best in men’s underwear. Modal fabric is the key.
Color: Black, Size: Small, Color: Black, Size: Small
Well I tried Hanes bikinis small and medium said to be the best seller. Maybe for a young boy but not for me an older man. Tried numerous others and none fit like these. The most comfortable of all I tried probably because the waistband being between mid and low and not so wide a fabric and fit the best. The biggest thing I love about these is the pouch area being just right and the fabric is so soft. Modal is the way to go. Cotton bunches up. Great quality and price. Can’t go wrong with these. Tried boxer briefs and trunks also and all to high waisted even when advertised as low, and the pouch area were bulkier. Edited: The solid colors are ok for casual use only but not for sports. The ones with a fancy design are better. Bigger pouch area and a different style waist band.
