That vine looks so small and delicate for such large blooms. The colors are just gorgeous. Love your photos especially those macros.
Beautiful pictures. Hope you're feeling better now? Deccy x

The creeper indeed is the proper name for them. They always know how to come back. Great shots of them. Have a great week. Lynne
I love those my Mon has them so pretty
The Creeper is really pretty! Better pretty then ugly since it will never go away. LOL These are fantastic photos!
Beautiful flower. there should be some humming birds and butterflys floating around the flowers.
These vine are very prolific here also and I love them!

My gracious!!!! LOOK at those details you captured!!! Amazing!
Actually, me-thinks most stuff likes to be hacked back. At least, all the stuff I used to have fun with hacking back, grew like topsy, after. Kind of a futile effort.
This spring I didn't hack. We have a full-fledged "Sleeping Beauty's Castle" look. -chuckle-
Gentle hugs,
"Auntie"
Beautiful pictures! Mad
Thanks so much for sharing these awesome images! Just lovely! Hope you have a good day.
it is lovely. the grasshoppers decimated mine here this summer down to woody vines. it is slowly pushing out a few leaves again but no blooms this year.
What a beautiful vine and flower! Thanks for the cheery photos this morning. :-)
We have one too. I crops up all over. I put it there against my husband's wishes. Oh, well.
Stunning macros, thanks for sharing for Macro Monday.
Pretty colors....beautiful pictures. Are you feeling pretty good today?
And we are glad you are a mad snapper we see so many pretty things when we visit
Hugs Madi and Mom
Your macros are marvelous, and the blossom is beautiful. I can sympathize with Bob, however, since I fight creepers up here. Unfortunately ours aren't as pretty as yours.
Beautiful. I especially like the ones with the dark background.
You get the most amazing macros! Beautiful! I've still not been able to do that with this camera, I don't know if it's the camera or the photographer. :)
Your Flame vine is stunning, Sandra. We learned the only drawback is their creeping where they are not wanted.
That's what Creepers do---they CREEP.... ha ha .... Great pictures... They really are pretty... Hope our Clematis starts 'creeping' again. It didn't bloom this year, so we cut it back.
Hugs,
Betsy
But they are so beautiful...I cannot resist taking photos of it.
Beautiful pictures and I love your new header photo. Lovely reflections! Hope you're having a great day! Mine is nearly over...
I love to see your flowers...even if it is a vine:)
That's a gorgeous flower on that creeper.
It seems to have a personality and being a creeper I can just imagine it creeping.
The macro shot where you can see the pollen are great!
Look at all your followers' comments! How very wonderful! Love the texture in that last shot.
A creeper makes it sound like something sinister but it's too pretty. Obviously Bob must think it's a tad sinister though since he keeps chopping it back....lol
I like the new header picture
It's a neat little plant and I love the blooms. I want them here. :)
You are truly an artist, this is just gorgeous. Do you know Jim at Ocean Breezes. I think it's oceanbreezes.blogspot.com He is also working on the most gorgeous flower and nature photos. You would enjoy his blog.
Perhaps it is a Creeper but it sure is pretty.
I love the various shades of orange and red.
Beautiful! Like your new header picture, too!
Do these bring in lots of little hummers??
You should put together a flower book...:) Love the new header photo. ♥
Still giggling about "the vine it road in on". And who said flowers were delicate?
I love these beautiful trumpet vines; the color is quite vivid. Great job on the macro shot!
Hi Sandra, just saw some of these trumpet vines the other day and took some photos with my little point & shoot digital for a future post...hmmm you bet me to it with these GREAT images, but I still might do one after waiting awhile. They DO creep everywhere and can be quite invasive.
What a beautiful CREEP! sandie
So pretty and such amazing details you captured!
Creeper my be annoying to Bob but it sure has lovely color and blooms.
WOW, stunning photos! We call this the Trumpet Vine, and there are quite a few around here. Hope I posted on the right post!!
I see Squirrel Queen commenting, remember her? So long ago!

Oh yes, I had one of those on my fence; in OZ it's given its proper name of Campsis Grandiflora (aka Chinese Trumpet Vine) - and yes, it can surely take over if not regularly pruned! Great photos. YAM xx
Pretty flowers but of course it's always a problem when one plant "gets out of control"...
Hello Sandra, I know how robust the Trumpet Vine can be. I have several in my garden, one is over the front door and high porch. I love it's bright orange flowers, but not so much when they fall all over the stone entrance and steps.
You took lovely macro shots of the flowers.
Enjoy your weekend

Well it may keep coming back but at least it gives you pretty flowers.
It flourishes and spreads without restraint, just like humans.
It makes me wonder where I was...I see no comment from me...cause you know I have a sort of love-hate relationship.with this! I love the flowers but will never get one because it would take over!
I have always loved these blooms, but the plant does grow crazy. I used to call our plant Cousin It. Have a great day!
That is one pretty creeper plant with nice blooms!
We've no pretty trumpets like yours, but I think their second cousin is trying to put down roots on our fence. (My lens app says it's a Virginia Creeper.)
The leaves are so pretty, I (almost) hate to destroy it.
I'm so obedient..I remember this post and saw my comment on it from years ago.
The vine is still beautiful and such brilliant color but the creeping part not so beautiful.
It certainly has a mind of its own.

It's a shame the vine is so creepy...because its flowers are gorgeous!!
That vine may be persistent but it sure is pretty.
Thanks for visiting my blog💗
Goes to show you what sometimes looks good - is really not.
We always follow directions:). Well, most of the time. The flowers on the creeper plant are so pretty.

We have that too: Trumpet Creeper. Beautiful but very invasive. Hummingbirds love it. 💙
Yep, these trumpet vine shots are gorgeous!
