So beautiful Barb. I have a yellow one but it hasn't bloomed yet. I
planted it a couple years ago and it has taken it this long to really look
good but not sure I will get flowers this year or not. I sure hope so as I
think it will be very beautiful.

Gorgeous and dramatic! Is it native to Australia? And do you know what
pollinates it?

Thanks Sharon, I think yours may be a different one as these ones only
come in orange and only grow in warm climates.

Mad Cow formulated the question :

Thanks sue. It's a South American native and polinated by bees.

There is one here. Used to be two, one had to go because it was
getting into my roof. Is there a picture of the plant on your web
page. I would like to see the difference.

They can be very vigorous and completely overtake what ever they grow
over.

I know well that it can do damage. It was my neighbors vine.

The attachments are what our orange trumpets look like.

They're called "boru çiçeði" in Turkish but so are a lot of other
things:

They can be quite invasive and will thrive most anywhere. That pod
when dry splits and releases thousands of translucent, wafer-thin
seeds about the size and shape of a fingernail.

The problem with "common" names, same name, different places, different
flowers. :-)

Agreed. Any idea what plant the pictures might be of? People here like
to train them to arbors and suchlike because they are so hardy and
vigorous. And they certainly are showy flowers.

Campsis radicans - we used to grow that! It got into our roof every
year and was a right job to prune without damaging the tiles.
It's reasonably hardy in southern England, flowers in sunny places but
I've never seen the seed pods and I couldn't get cuttings to take root
(in spite of the Latin name which means it should root along the stems).

I wonder if I could grow one here...
