Jim,

Did you post the names and/or source of your varieties?  

Then again, my zone - 9ish - may be completely too warm.  So, group - anyone
having success with these in the warmer zones?

If my daughter's still in Russia in the Spring, I'll ask her if honeyberries
are available.

    Pat Holloway from the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, tasted a number 
of cultured Lonicera(s) on her visit to Russia.  She said that those that 
are available here in the U.S. are bland by comparison to some of the other 
(Russian) varieties.  The two varieties I grow are so packed with flavor 
that I cannot imagine another berry having more flavor but, if Pat said it, 
it has got to be true.
