Soon our fence will disapear under this killer vine and right now it is starting to bloom and hubby is busy trimming on it to keep it off the other plants. We love it, but it will take over the rest of the yard without care.

The wonderful Trumpet Flowers will attract hummingbirds more than any other plant.

they look like they are calling out to the humming birds, "Come and pollinate us!" Our trumpet flowers are poisonous. Are these?
Beautiful is the word for these Trumpet flowers
Beautiful flowers. I really like the new header. You are right: God is reflected in all of His creation.
I love invasive flowers, less work for me except for a bit of pruning by hubby.
Beautiful! We love our hummers! They should be arriving the middle of May....hopefully it stops snowing by then....
Well done Sandra! The blooms on it are really beautiful.
Sandra, these pictures are so welcoming and beautiful!!
your new header is really gorgeous!!
have a great day!
I love the Trumpet Flowers. They herald the glories of a new day.
I especially love your first quote by Martin Luther. It expresses what inspires me to awe in God's creation.
Your header is stunning, and the trumpet vine is fascinating and beautiful.
They are very pretty,but I guess with that kind of fast growth it can be a problem.

There are trumpet vines around here, but I have never seen the buds. in fact, I've never seen one like you show it, it's is amazingly haunting and lovely. Night photos, brilliant!! We used to have one, we bought it to attract the hiummingbirds. It grew into such a mess that Phil took it out. Phil said he never saw anything so aggressive, it sent roots out into the grass, where new plants would come up and even when he mowed they would come back. Neither one of us can remember now if I objected to his taking it out because I usually put up a fight about things like this.
My sisters and I used to pull off the flowers and stick them on our fingers as fingernails--polished fingernails which nice little Southern Baptist girls didn't have back in the day.
Best,
Bonnie
I thought they looked like something that would attract a hummingbird. They're very pretty but sound like a real pain to keep under control
Oh my goodness I love this quote - may I borrow it sometime?

He sure does.

Very cool! Trumpet flowers. I don't think I have ever seen any before. I must get out more. :)
They are gorgeous!!
The flowers are certainly beautiful!!
Those flowers are gorgeous, I can see why the hummers would love them. Too bad it spreads so fast but for something so pretty ....
I was looking through quotes (quote garden) today..I like these. Well I know what you mean- they can just take over. At least this is pretty!! They must have a fragrance (or at least to the creatures). Our neighbors have a type (soft peach)that hangs upside down (large) and it is really poisonous and pretty sure a hallucengentic (you probably have the same in Florida). I like this color on your series-
