The buds on this always make me think of a reaching hand with waggling fingers. A few too many for your average hand LOL.
It's a flame honeysuckle, new to my garden this year, and it seems quite happy. I am hoping next year it will have enough flowers to attract Hummingbirds all summer long ... if not, I still like the plant :-)
They do like honeysuckle, so I think your plan will work out fine. I'm looking forward to the shots you will get. This one is gorgeous, very well done.
