Another what is it....This time a plant?

OK so one more what is it. I thought I planted a lilac bush, but the flowers are not grouped like my other lilacs. This ones flowers are more spread out individually on the branches. Lilac or not?

It looks to me like Honeysuckle.

Definitely Honeysuckle

Really? Wow I pulled that shoot up last year from under a Lilac bush. Thought it looked like Lilac leaves so I transplanted it. It has grown pretty well and is twice the size. I have heard that Honeysuckle plants are a terrible thing to keep.....Anyone.....?

Hummingbirds LOVE them! They climb well, too if you care to have an arbor or a trellis.

Be careful about transplanting as NH has an invasive species list and honeysuckle is one of the plants targeted. I didn't research if the plant pictured is one of the prohibited cultivars.

By law you are actually prohibited from transplanting the plants on this list:

Put honeysuckle down as what I consider a plant worth zapping. They can just take over an area and I would never put one anywhere near my shrub beds.

Looks just like the Honeysuckle we have in our yard .
