Is yours in a shady out-of the-way spot, Kayleigh? Perhaps that's why you've only just noticed it.

Yes! its tucked away at the back of the fence behind a Mock orange and a budlier. I did some pruning last summer and must have encouraged it into flower. Or the birds planted it. I will keep my eyes open to what I get on it. If its only good for bees I will be happy. It is nice to see flowers this time of year.
