Honeysuckle vine

 Honeysuckle Vine

This a Honeysuckle vine, I found growing in the woods, near water, in Vermont. 

Honeysuckle vine, Lonicera.

Honeysuckles are arching shrubs or twining vines in the family Caprifoliaceae, native to the Northern Hemisphere. Approximately 180 species of honeysuckle have been identified.

Sometimes called “woodbine.” The flower, seed, and leaves are used for medicine. The honeysuckle flower is commonly used to help ease the flu, colds and sore throat. Honeysuckle is also used for urinary disorders, headache, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and cancer. Some people use it to promote sweating, as a laxative, to counteract poisoning, and for birth control.

Honeysuckle essential oil is one of the most popular products derived from this plant, for medicinal uses as well as hair and skin care.

Starflower

Lysimachia borealis

Starflower is a perennial herb that grows from slender, creeping rhizomes. Starflower is one of the more common spring, forest, wildflowers in eastern North America, and is also distributed in the Midwest and the higher elevations of the southern Appalachian Mountains.

Starflowers generally bloom from mid to late spring into early summer. Their habitat preference is open to dappled shade in moist woods but they may be found dry, sandy, acidic soils as well. Star flowers are pollinated by native bees. Starflower generally goes dormant in mid-summer with the leaves yellowing and then falling to the ground so that all that is left is the stem with 1 to 2 tiny seed capsules ripening at the tip. Seeds do not germinate before undergoing a cold stratification and do not germinate until the fall of the second year allowing seeds to be disseminated by insects.
