A New flower bloomed in my yard about Mid-June. After some research I discovered that it is an Orange Trumpet Vine as you can see from the photos here.
Earlier this week I spotted the new flower peeking out through the forsythia along the main highway. They’re very colorful and have a really neat way of growing and sprouting. The Orange Trumpet vine flower buds poke out as hard looking pods which split open and another pod, the flower (similar to a balloon flower) pokes out and then extends and opens up. They’re really nice, I just wish I had about 2000 more of them! I’m going to try cloning or creating copies of these as I think they’d look really nice in front of the house.
Here are a few photos of these. Actually quite a few, they’re so neat in a lot of different ways. The resolution has been reduce to 1024×768 to make them viewable on the page, but if you’d like a higher resolution copy (8 megapixel) of these photos please use the contact links located at various places on the page (top and sides).
The flowers are orange/red, form out of a pod, and grow at the end of long green vines. They pop open and their little antennae thingies poke out waiting for the bees and what not to do their job. At any rate, please enjoy the photos and let me know if you have any ideas for creating copies of these and helping them multiply.

I have this vine beside my house, and I cut it all down. Yes, the flowers were very nice, but when they were done blooming, there was this creepy claw like thing that sprouted out. It is very overpowering, it grew into my walkway. When I started to cut it down, I realized that it was growing up inside of the siding on my house!!! And the vines are very strong, and I am having trouble getting them out. I would not reccomend this vine to anyone!!!!
