I've been really impressed with this plant in the past.  The yellow-leaved
cultivars almost glow:

I've been thinking of planting one in the back against the fence, but I
might give in and grow a Wisteria macrostachya there or an Aristolochia
instead.

Which reminds me...  Now's the time to take cuttings of my Lonicera 
prolifera.  I believe I've offered cuttings up to listmembers in the
past, but never followed through.  I'll try to do better this time.

Does anyone want Lonicera prolifera?  I should have some ready to 
send and plant in the fall.
