I have a lot of plants I need to ID on my new property, but this is the first with an open flower. Can anyone help? I'm in Central Maine, zone 4/5, on a semi-wooded lot of mostly green ash and pine surrounded by farm fields...I have a guess as to what this is, but I'd like to see if anyone knows for sure!

Some type of Bush Honeysuckle? Maybe Japanese Honeysuckle?

That's what I thought! We'll see what it smells like when the rest of the flowers open. If we're right, I'm going to be impressed with my field guide skills...

If we don't do the shopping, we won't have anything for dinner. And I've invited this tiny ad:
