Great pic! I live mid-coast Oregon, one mile from the ocean. I am supposed to be zone 6? Depending whom you consult. The purple flower in the corner,is it mexican sage? Is your plant an annual? thanks Edithrose

I grew this one for the first time this year, but it sure wasn't as pretty as yours is. Gorgeous.

edithrose. . .it usually dies back here in the winter, as it is out in the open and our temps can drop somewhat below freezing at times. . .comes back again. . .checking on that purple flower when I go to the garden this am. . .there's also a blue/lavender?? colored clockvine in the PDB that I've got my eye on too. Have you seen this one yet?

edithrose. . .took this picture this AM. . .not what it used to be is it?? We've had some killer frosts down to near 25� and it's looking pretty sad now. So, yes the answer to your question. . .it is annual here.

Jcangemi. Your trumpet vine was gorgeous. I just got some seed and can't wait to try it out later this year. I was wondering what you have your growing on because it looks to be in the middle of the yard?? Just trying to get some ideas for Spring. Thanks.

Kauai17 . . .finally got a picture of the tower that the vine is on. It was completely covered by the clock vine. I think you can see the framework underneath. Guess it's time to clean this up for new growth. . .LOL Sorry I took so long. Janet
