Lonicera ciliosa
(Orange Honeysuckle or Western Trumpet Honeysuckle) is a honeysuckle native to forests of western North America. A deciduous shrub growing to 6 meter tall with hollow twigs, the leaves are opposite, oval, 4-10 centimeter long with the last pair on each twig merged to form a disk. The flowers are orange-yellow, 2-4 centimeter long, with five lobes and trumpet shaped; they are produced in whorls above the disk-leaf on the ends of shoots. The fruit is a translucent orange-red berry less than 1 centimeter diameter. The fruits are edible either raw or cooked, but are not a common food.

New growth cuttings should also be about 6 inches long and may be taken from anywhere on the plant. Plant cuttings in pots until sufficiently rooted. If propagating from seed, stratify for 2 months.
