Tell me about flowers/honeysuckles

Ok, so... I am so ignorant on this. The Wiki on Honeysuckles is very dry. Some pages classify it as a 'vine' and some as a 'bush'. Google images makes it look like a pretty flower.

Can I get a bouquet of these things? What do I do?

    The ones I've seen/called a honey suckle are these:

    And have only seen them on vines. Wouldn't imagine they'd make a good bouquet.

    Smell nice and have a tasty nectar though.

    They could probably be nice mixed in with larger flowers.

    There are vining honeysuckles and smaller ones that just make a bush, my parents have one that has entirely taken over a huge juniper tree, it's crazy. I don't believe they are a commercially viable flower arrangement plant because they're pretty fragile and don't transport well. If you can find some locally to cut they'd be great mixed in with some greener plants.

    Basically it's the only thing I know the girl likes (dropped in conversation).

    My mom is a florist and she regularly has people come in and ask if she can make arrangements for them with their own baskets, their own plants, etc. Ask a local florist if they think they can whip you up something nice with a vine of honeysuckle or if they have any ideas on how to make it presentable.
