Started making an arbour using reclaimed wood from the local woodland that was blocking the path.

This is the entrance to the "wild" part of our garden. I'm lucky to have access to woodland close by that the council haven't maintained, so there were lots of branches from past storms this winter. The plan is to grow honeysuckle either side and hope it covers most of it, providing food and shelter along with the hedgerow I've planted on the left behind the ladder. The pond I posted earlier last year is made out of an old water tank someone was throwing out.
Your comment helped me remember that I had a dream hummingbirds were visiting my coral honeysuckle!
I just realized I had a similar misunderstanding about trumpet creeper and crossvine. Turns out both are native, but trumpet creeper just grows way too aggressively. This is a good thing for professional landscapers that can keep up with training and pruning it, but most people would probably do better with a well behaved crossvine.
