Lonicera tartarica Tartarian Honeysuckle C DD I
I'd never seen this introduction from Asia before coming across it in the dunes. My instinct was that it was a kind of honeysuckle but looking at it I'm not sure why I thought that. Perhaps the leaves or flower shape are redolent of common honeysuckle. The flowers are yellow at first and then become pinkish which is a bit like a honeysuckle.
