Hi, I would be interested in some of your trumpet and hen and chicks email me at skipperdeer@aol.com i've got some of the things on your want list thanks rob

Michele - Congratulations on your Trumpet vine buds/blooms. I have three TV's that have been along my fence for a good 5+ years I bet, and this year they took off like crazy - finally. I haven't looked closely at them for a few weeks, so now I am going to go out and take a good close look. After your news, I now have hope for mine. It's been so long since I put them in, I don't recall if they are red/orange or yellow. I winter sowed some and have a good dozen or more little babies still waiting for a home (they're still in the W/S container). Need to get them a home! Again - congratulations Sandy

Here is another picture of same vine: http://www.hcnews.com/donnell/vine1.png i am not very savvy at gardenweb.... maybe there is a way to upload two pictures but I did not see a way to do that... Here is a link that might be useful:

Campsis radican 'Flava' is the most widely available yellow flowered sort. Mention of the trumpet vine, or trumpet creeper usually brings a storm of comment, because it is so vigorous and invasive. I had a 'Madame Galen' on the chimney before we put an addition just there and had to cut the vine down. Its seedlings are on the property and so deeply rooted that I will always have them. 'Jersey Peach' grows on the pool deck fence and I am gathering and destroying every seed pod before they open. The sort you have is growing very slowly in considerable shade on an out-building I built and may, eventually get into more sun on the roof. Then it may finally bloom and make seed pods for me to chase. I ordered another 'M. Galen' for a rather wild spot and a 'Morning Calm, also growing too slowly in a shady place. Beautiful vines that bloom for a long time, are too vigorous and constantly drop spent flowers in a great mess. A great favorite of hummingbirds.
