Trumpet Creeper
a climbing shrub of the warmer parts of America. It is related to the catalpa. It bears showy trumpet-shaped orange and scarlet flowers. This is one of the flowers that may well make Northern people envious of the South. Of a dozen different kinds known by various common names, as yellow elder, cape honeysuckle, trumpet vine, and Australian bower-plant, only one, our native species, can be reared as far north as Massachusetts.
