Lisalove, This is the Trumpet Vine that I have.

One of the favorites of my garden is the walkway arbor with its trained trumpet vine. It puts on a beautiful show in the summer; bright orange flowers attract Humming Birds. In the winter its twisted climbing vines gives a nice structural interest to the walkway. Please read all the comments on this, most talk about how hard it is to control this vine. Several like me love their vines and with a little extra effort and proper placement can control the excessive growth. Mine is about 15-20 years old. The only thing growing close to it is the evergreen group and there are some runners in there that I must go in and cut back a couple of times a year to keep it in check and I believe it is worth the extra effort. Mine is not planted near any structure.
