At My Friend´s Garden Center - Feat. Orange Trumpet Creepers
Breathtaking
This trumpet vine (Pyrostegia venusta) otherwise known as Florida Flame Vine is at its best with all those thousands of clusters of blooms opening up at the same time, covering the whole vine til its peak of 15 meters high. This one here is located at my friend´s garden center in Andalucia, Southern Spain and it amazes me everytime I see the clusters in vivid orange color. Isn´t it breathtaking to see, all orange covered electrical post?! The one featured here climbed up to the electrical post of the Garden Center and engulpfed it almost totally. The plant obviously loves the sun and with that the clusters of flowers become enorm.
This creeper grows from the ground clinging to almost anything for support. The variety is loved by house owners in Spain for their hedges because when they all bloom at the same time, the impact is so beautiful to see. Flowering is between January til March for the late bloomers.
According to our family friend , who is a biologist, they give organic feed (cow and horse manure mixed with wood to loosen the soil at th same time fertilizing the plant) once or twice a year sometime in Spring and Fall. His advice is to choose a place where it can grow freely without bothering other trees.
That is pretty amazing! It must be fabulous to see in real life. I saw that you had asked about the leaderboard in Discord. And while I don't have the answer to your question, it is my understanding that it works on a rolling 24 hours, so that the comment that you made 24 hours ago drops off your total. I have also noticed that it is not updated immediately, but I am not certain how often it does get updated. I know they have had issues with it and it seems to be working better now than it did in the past, and hopefully it will get even better with the new updates!
Magnificent, must attract birds and insects :-)
I really admire your work ma’am @mers💞
