Holly, love that arbor! I have the same trumpet vine growing on our freeway wall. Its a 35' UGLY cement block wall :o( that makes up our back fence. I planted the 3 trumpet vines about 3 yrs ago and hoping that this year they 'leap' and cover the wall. the hummers DO love it!

I love the idea of lights on tha arbor.... maybe need to talk DH into adding electrical outlet on mine! lol! we already have electrical in that area for the chicken coop and the gym.... and an extra outlet in that area would definitely be a a conveinent location for plugging in garden tools....hmmm! LOL!

I may need to go to Regans today and look for a climbing rose after all :o)... put it in a huge wine barrell on the lower level and let it grow :o) I love clematis, but lost mine last year ;o( didnt know the roots needed to stay cool. maybe I'll add some this year to cover our lil decorative fence that lines the upper area.

this shot...taken last june shows a bit of the trumpet vine and if you strain your eyes you can see the decorative fence behind all those glads! LOL
