species: Campsis radicans
common name: trumpet vine
family: Bignoniaceae
where & when encountered: Louisiana - 2010
This beautiful vine is native to the southeast U.S. but has spread all over the country. Since it was brought to my attention in 2010, I have seen it growing on fences in California and New York. The plant is simultaneously in demand and considered invasive. The ones shown here were in Louisiana and therefore in their native habitat.
