Hi all! 
#1  Vigorousish climber coming through from next door which I quite like the look of.  Think evergreen.

1)





#2  Present(!) from the other neighbour - again, climber, trailer.  Thanks!

    Both @Asarum ?

    Yes, they both look like honeysuckle. I have two in my garden - one with tinged red leaves (like yours) that has purple flowers, and one with greener leaves (also like yours) which has yellow flowers ('Scentsatian').

    The reddish one could be an older form of Lonicera periclymenum, 'Serotina'.

    Fabulous - thanks both.

    Hi all - thread resurrect with added flowers! 


    This is the purplish-hued #1 above (first 4 pictures) which @WildFlower_UK thought they recognised and @Cambridgerose12 mooted as periclymenum, 'Serotina'.  The flowers don't look quite as beautiful as the Serotina's I'm Googling, but they look similar enough for it to be that :)
    Main thing for my current planning is whether it's evergreen (or semi-) but a pinpoint ID is always helpful :)
    Thanks all!

    The plain species also has a lot of variation. But this could still be 'Serotina', needing a bit more food... Anyway it's definitely periclymenum and thus deciduous. It looks lovely!

    Ah, thanks @Cambridgerose12 .  I'll get some feed into it :)
