I'm pretty sure I bought the pair of plants from Spring Hill several years ago. I have one planted on each side of a rustic arbor built of cedar. It has stayed in bounds so I would say that the description of 10 to 15 feet is pretty accurate. I have ordered another pair for the other arbor I have this spring. I have read on other forums that Spring Hill has a bad reputation, but that was not my experience, obviously. There is another thread about honeysuckle recommendations on this forum. Good luck!

Well I got really curious since sinus clogging and throat clearing have been a life long problem for me - solved at age 43 - simple dehydration. Since I have solved my problem I've merely kept up with it but for quite some years I have wondered just how the dehydration caused my symptoms. So! Tonite I Googled >Dehydration and SinusDehydration and Dry CoughIt would seem there are many causes and dehydration is one. I did not persue this at length - just enough to see that my observations (of myself) were valid. Here is just one site of interest. The Effects Of Dehydration : Your Health Journal http://www.lensaunders.com/wp/the-effects-of-dehydration/ And here are 3 statements I copied which confirm my observations: Avoid cold water or ice water because that just shocks the body and you just end up going to the bathroom with very little being absorbed Without enough fluid in the body, the mucus will thicken, making it difficult for the cilia to move it through the sinuses. I advise patients to drink plenty of water, as dehydration can make the mucus more tenacious and difficult to clear; (from the throat). This, of course, doesn't mean that I consider my suggestion to be the true solution; just that it was/is a valid consideration among many.

Sunday 27th July 2008. Emma has been like her old self today...even chasing my friends cat round the living room! 2 weeks ago the cat would have been able to walk all over her and Emma would not have raised an eyebrow!She has also got her appetite back well. It's lovely to see,but then she is on 250mg X 2 daily of Synulox Anti Bio's for 3 weeks(this is the end of her 1st week)I wonder why the vet (I will ask him tomorrow)why the Anti Bio's for so long and so much.My reason is that he may think that there may be an underlying infection causing the Kidney problem?I didn't realize the extent of the course until I arrived home,I thought it may be for her teeth? as she had them cleaned & 1 x extaction.Course seems too long for that though. The reason I ask about lumps being connected to Kidney disease is that....in my research, it stated that dogs with Kidney problems can get mouth & Oesophagus ulcers due to high Nitrogen in system. I have put Emma on a Prescription diet(which she's not impressed with & turned her nose up at initially) plus some cooked fresh chicken mixed in to tempt her,she has eaten most.......so far. Re the lump...originally before closer examination,vet treated her for throat infection due to redness(inflamation)in throat.If canerous,would there be inflamation,does anyone know,? ..I thought unlikely.

I feel for you. I have been battling some kind of bug for 2 weeks now that started overnight with a horrible painful sore throat and just got progressively worse. Nothing I took would touch the pain in my throat except Advil. 2 weeks later the sore throat has diminished a bit but not completely. Whatever this bug I got I sure hope you don't get. I was drowning in phlegm, coughing but not deep coughs, just short in the throat cough and then I lost the hearing in my right ear which still has not come back. After a week of thinking it was just a bug that would have to go away on its own I finally went to the Doctor. He put me on antibitotics right away, I have an ear infection as well as a swollen parotid gland on my neck. I have not been this sick in 10 years and after 2 weeks I am still coughing and battling this thing. I don't think the antibiotics are helping at all. If after a few days your sore throat does not ease go to the Doctor and don't do what I did and wait. I sucked on Chloraseptic Max lozenges for sore throats and took the Advil which eased the pain.
