I was surprised to see that the name for the pink is "Honeysuckle" because when I was growing up and sucking the "honey" out of the flowers, they were yellow. However, I just spoke with my friend from North Carolina who tells me the honeysuckle flowers in her home-state were a variegated pink. Who knew?
