Trumpet Vine and Bananas

From a recent trip to the San Diego Botanical Gardens:

Seeing bananas growing in the winter never gets old for me. Can you tell I grew up in the Midwest?

I’ve seen red and lavender trumpet vines, but not this particular hue. Have to say I love it. Be warned that they can grow up to 30 feet long. You’ll need a very lengthy fence, but isn’t the color amazing?

Hope your week’s going well so far.

    Love the trumpet vine and have never seen this hue. I wonder if the hummingbirds would be as attracted to this color as they are to the orange/coral hues that are dominant in E TX.

    The trumpet vines are spectacular. Love the fanciful shapes.
    Would you believe it’s been so warm here that the daffodils are starting to shoot up?
