My entries for this week’s Cee’s Flower of the Day Challengetaken from out my back day and walking a short 20 feet to our right. Not what you expect out back in an apartment complex.
From my walkabout out my back door. This time my grandson and I ventured right took approximately 100 steps (mini steps) and located these creeping flower vines. My addition to Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge.
Campsis radicansTrumpet Vine Or Trumpet Creeper AKA Cow Itch Vine
In North America, the trumpet vine is also known as the Hummingbird Vine. It can be seen in many areas throughout the Carolinas. I see them not only on the grounds of our apartment complex, but also in wooded areas along the Catawba River and along the trails at Anne Springs Close Greenway.
This photo is from my walking out my back door and to the end of our complex with my grandson to spot what we could see on a short walk. Not many flowers were spotted, but we we lucky to spot a couple to brighten our day.
I originally took this photo of a rose from my garden back in September of 2013. I loved having a small garden back then, but unfortunately I am unable to have one at present.
