Dawn
Yesterday I was determined to watch the sunrise and decided to go to the lake for the extravaganza. When I came to the front porch I was greeted with thick fog. You could barely see a couple feet ahead of you.
We still had our fingers crossed and drove down to the lake, things were even worse. We waited fpor a while and the weather didn’t improve. It was already time for breakfast by then so we deiced to have breakfast at the restaurant. on our way back we stopped at a near by park to take some pictures. ‘I found my favorite Chinese trumpet vine there. This is also called Bignonia Grandiflora
I had this vine earlier in my garden but this was one of those plant that didn’t like our new home. It died as soon as we moved in. It is a woody creeper which blooms profuse . I was just happy seeing it . I am sure it will soon be found in my garden again.
These bright flowers can be a great attraction for birds and bees alike. Sunbirds flock these plants in the early mornings and mid afternoons.
Though I was disappointed that I couldn’t watch the sunrise I was happy to see the colors of dawn (though a little more vibrant) in these these flowers again.

The color of this vine is amazing. I would have it in my garden too.
I so glad you like it, some colors look awesome in the garden.
Such a beautiful color indeed!
Thanks Ellie, I love the color too. it just made my day.
So they are called Chinese Trumpet. Always wondered what they were called. I see them around here on fences but not yet in my garden.
You maybe talking about the pyrostegia venusta or the fire cracker vine which looks amazing on fences. It is almost the same color but flows down nicely . This one is more like straggly branches all over the place.
You are a walking encyclopaedia. What are you doing here?
LOL That is way too high praise, I am a simple person. I love plants and have a passion to know them better, that is about it.
Well done, beautiful flower and photo.
Thank you Fortune, I am glad you like it.
Great picture and very nice colors, dear Dawn
