Two Common Beauties
Damianita on the left, American Trumpet Vine on the right. The Damianita is common in parts of West Texas. So indestructible its does well even in neglected gardens. The American Trumpet Vine has been a popular garden plant for as long as I can remember. Hummingbirds love it, and it produces huge seed pods that are attractive in themselves. I'm just putting them here because I thought the photos are pretty.
Formal name is Chrysactinia mexicana.
