I like your names Clayton. Thanks.

The pods have a long way to go Marie, but lets hope they make it over winter. I just love the shape of this one too, it has full and fluffy skirts!

Hey Brin, I am always confused. LOL Welcome to my world.

I see there are a few cultivars of different orange ones. But mine is Tecoma X smithii

'Orange Bells' (Tecoma x smithii) is a cross of T. arequipensis and T. stans. T. chrysantha has larger flower clusters and more dramatically serrated leaf margins.

San Marcos needs a better picture, it is orange but has lots of yellow in it. Or maybe different blooms age and get more yellow in the cluster. I fell for it on one look, it is so bright and cheerful.

Elva, do your orange stems hang all over? I wish they had a bit more of an upright growth habit.
