About the name "Woodbine"
WOODBINE is the common name of certain thicket creeper vines or
honeysuckle vines.
Honeysuckles
(genus Lonicera) are arching shrubs or twining vines, many with
sweetly-scented, bell-shaped flowers. There are over 180 species of
honeysuckle, the most common of which are Lonicera japonica
(Japanese honeysuckle, White honeysuckle, or Chinese honeysuckle) and Lonicera
sempervirens (Coral honeysuckle, Trumpet honeysuckle, or Woodbine
honeysuckle). (Information courtesy of Wikipedia,
the Internet encyclopedia.)
That little white woodbine flower is popular here in Georgia, creeping
up over fences and walls, so we used it in the design of our website. See the Woodbine
flower on the links names
and other website graphics. |
