It's still blooming. It is sort of over run by a Lady Margaret PV so I didn't see the flowers till yesterday.
Lavender trumpet vine
wow very beautiful Susie
They're gorgeous! I love the markings on them!!
Only if mine would bloom!!!!
Thanks I enjoy looking at them!
I went around the corner to check behind the lattice around the pool pump. I kept hearing a hummingbird. There is a roufous that is "hanging out" back there under the thunbergia and passiflora vines. He kept squeeking and I went to see if he was okay and saw the flowers.
Its beautiful Susie! I would love to see even just one hummer here!!
You don't have hummers there Shelly?
Very pretty, Susie. Wish mine would bloom.
just bought one from my local K mart
Wow, I love that picture. I just bought two Podranea brycei. Is that what this is? I hope so.
Susie, that Lavender Trumpet vine is just gorgeous . I would love to have one like that. I bought a (I think it is called Golden Trumpet vine) a couple of years ago. It should be large enough to bloom this year. Is just showing leaf buds now.
It is in my 2 year old Woodland area. I planted it for the hummingbirds. Have three kinds of hummer, Rufous, Blackchinned and the tiny Caliope. There are probably 25 or so here now, some of each kind. Saw one of the male Rufous yesterday with the sun shining on him, He was beautiful, wish i could get a photo that would show his wonderful colors. Thanks for posting the lovely Trumpet Vine.

Zuzu-
Podranaea ricasiolana and podranaea brycei are VERY similar. Brycei is one zone more tender...

Thanks for the info, T. I'll have to get one of the others just to make sure one of them survives the winter.
I think you are just fine with brycei in CA in zone 9. We here in zone eight have to grow ricasiolana...
If I remember correctly, the brycei are slightly larger flowers and have a bit of a fuzziness to them on the inside of the petals...
Both are gorgeous and both smell wonderful.
What Calalily has is a lavender version of the brycei(of sorts). The podranaeas are pink, but this one is lavender. The botanical is clytostoma callistegiodes.
Should be fairly easy to find out there in Ca...

Beautiful, Cala!

Donna S, we have gorgeous hummers here. Here is one that flew into my house when he saw a huge red amaryllis on my dining room table.
Wow, what a great picture!
:) Donna
He is a beauty Kell.
Fantastic shot Kell! Looks like that jug attracted him. I never saw one sit until now!
kell that is a terrific shot, never saw a hummer like that ours are all red throat
Beautiful hummer, Kell.
Hi Kell! Great shot of that hummer! I hope you've posted this on the butterfly and hummer page. I know those folks would love to see this picture too!
Oh, kell, he looks just like the beautiful metal Christmas tree birds of old--only much better!
I'm sorry, Calla, got carried away. Of course the gorgeous vine is what caught my eye. Lovely!
