Morrow's honeysuckle

I have a bad feeling this is another invasive. (I seem to have just about every one I have read about.) This looks like Morrow's honeysuckle (Lonicera morrowii). I just pruned it back, and it has the indicative hollow stems. Flowers are white/pinkish, with yellow stamens. There are two of these bushes, both filling spots that will look strange if empty, so I may wait to remove them till I have alternatives. The sites are both very shady; one is moderately moist while the other is very dry. Too bad - they are reasonably attractive. Maybe a native honeysuckle to replace this?
