Lovely)


Your unknown climber is Campsis radicans, a great plant if it is
happy .
Nice to put a face to a name.


Are you sure? Or is is Campsis x grandiflora, which is rather more
common? Not that it makes a lot of difference, and the latter is
often called C. radicans. As you say, a great plant.

Apparently, the true C. radicans is rather too tender for the UK,
and most of France, but that is merely picked up from books.
