Trumpet Vine

We had one great big trumpet vine plant growing against a back fence at our house in Texas. It was totally wild and invasive, and Brian was always having to go out and whack it down to keep it from taking over the entire back yard.

Here in Florida, we have a much larger back yard, and the trumpet vines along the back fence originate in a neighbor’s yard and not our own. This means they cascade gently over the fence, rather than using it as their home base for taking over the world. (They might be taking over that neighbor’s yard, though, which is why we would never deliberately plant trumpet vine—it really tends to run rampant.) The hummingbirds love to sip from the flowers.

I snapped a few pictures for you…..

Pretty, aren’t they? :)

Have a beautiful day!
