Glaucous or Smooth-leaved Honeysuckle

A low shrub (2 to 3 feet tall) with opposite leaves with an oblong shape, untoothed margins and a white color beneath. Terminal leaves fused into a cup shape from the center of which projects a cluster of orange to reddish, two-lipped flowers, each about ˝ to ž inches long. Eventually a cluster of red berries develops.
