It is not a trumpet vine although it looks like one. It is Cross Vine

Cross Vine (Bignonia capreolata L.)

Identification: A vine. Flowers large, red-orange, trumpet-shaped with 5 spreading petals at the apex of the tube. Throat of flower usually shaded with yellow. Stem woody, a vine, showing a cross when sectioned. Leaves consisting of 2 large, paired, oval leaflets.

Distribution: A southern species found from Maryland, Illinois, and Missouri southward to Florida and Texas.

Habitat: Cross Vine is found in bottomland forest.

Flowering period: April to June.

Similar Species: Cross Vine is similar to Trumpet Creeper. However the leaves are in 2 large, paired, oval leaflets in contrast to the compound leaves of Trumpet Creeper. The flowering period of Cross Vine is generally earlier than that of Trumpet Creeper (July to September.)


I have to varities the Picture is of "Tangerine Beauty" here is a link to a source

the other is just a native one although it cost me more than "Tangerine Beauty"

I do have it interplanted with a Trumpetcreeper or Trumpet Vine for color later in the season.
