Hi Everybody!! Let us talk native.

Tecoma stans is a shrub and Campsis radicans is a vine. Do you know if your plant is a shrub or a vine?

I have Cape Honeysuckle (Tecoma capensis) which is more of a scrambling shrub and I don't think it would be growing in your zone, as it is specified for zones 9a and higher but Trumpet Vine (Campsis radicans) is found in zones 4 and higher, so it's likely a variety of Campsis.

Thank you very much. I'll try to check is it vine or shrub. I have many images of Tacoma stans from the same gardens, but its flowers are yellow, not orange
