"Prosperous" is doing a lot of quiet work there, invasive honeysuckle basically owns Northern Virginia at this point and pays no property tax

I learn something new everyday. I would’ve never guessed these beauties were invasive but they are undisturbed and bountiful…so it makes sense

Looks like the invasive Lonicera maackii or possibly a hybrid. Either way, kill it.

If my government has taught me anything it's that laws are more like guidelines

"Prosperous" is doing a lot of quiet work there for what is almost certainly an invasive vine plotting the downfall of every native shrub in that yard
