Red Trumpet Vine (Distictis buccinatoria)

Pretty flower to it great size.

This vine grows very large. This vine grows in many areas, along the freeways around cyclone fences.

Be it brightens up those areas makes a change to see red flowering vines.

That's as heavy a bloom as I've seen on them. I knew somebody Andy who had that and Bougainvillea and I think Passiflora all growing together. I wish I had taken a photo back 12 or 13 years ago.

Penny,

Yes, it's a very nice vine to brighten up a drab area.

Stan,

I know they grow very well up there and are a very common, also. This vine grows too fast for me, though.

Its surprising how plants can make a dreary area look good.☺

I know, right? :>))

?

I have one that's growing with Virginia Creeper...lots of water at present ...but good to know it will tolerate dryness.
