Title: Re: [NAFEX] Edible Honeysuckle

It's a nice thought, but I don't know how it would go over.  I think the first thing would be to get a list of those who would want to participate.  It would either take a good number of them, or a few willing to chip in a fair amount.  There is a lot more to the story and I hope to get it written up.  I took photos today, though not as many as I'd have liked as most of the fruit was gone and I was limited for time besides.
