Lonicera sempervirens (Coral Honeysuckle)

Native to the central and eastern United States, Lonicera sempervirens, or coral honeysuckle, is a woody twining vine that remains evergreen in warm climates. Its non-fragrant, trumpet-shaped flowers are scarlet to orange-red outside and yellowish within. The uppermost pair of leaves joins around the stem, forming a disk beneath the flower clusters. Ruby-throated hummingbirds feed on its nectar, and the plant is a larval host for spring azure butterflies and snowberry clearwing moths. Small red berries follow the flowers. Photographed in Bogotá, Colombia.
