Blooms: all summer
This beautiful vine can spread up to 40 ft. and twines around everything in it's path. It is very aggressive and grows in sun or part shade. It has beautiful reddish-orange trumpet shaped blooms with 5 or 6 to the bunch and beautiful dark green leaves. It is very attractive to hummingbirds. A common name that I have always heard is "Cow-Itch Vine".
"Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed."
I Corinthians 15: 51-52

Marvin planted two of these vines for me at the farm about ten years ago, and we barely kept them alive because of the hot, dry summers, but they never bloomed.
Last Saturday when I drove up, the first thing I saw was the trumpet vines in glorious bloom. "For every thing there is a season" so this must be their season.
