It’s day five of my staycation. A lot of garden task completed but it seems like there is always something else to do! The temps have been in the 90s the last few days and that has kept me inside during most of the day.
I think Gus has enjoyed me being home!
I did spend Wednesday, which was my birthday, at Sarah P Duke Gardens in Durham and the NC Botanical Gardens in Chapel Hill.

Major Wheeler is such a heavy bloomer! It’s amazing that this plant was discovered on the side of the road!

One of my favorite native vines is blooming. Cross Vine (Bignonia capreolata) is an evergreen vine that can grow to the top of a pine fast and are covered in short trumpet blooms in the Spring and sometimes throughout the Summer.
I have two cultivars: Tangerine Beauty on the left and Dragon Lady on the right. These blooms have fallen to the ground so they are faded and are brighter on the vine. The vines bloom heavily such that you can barely see the trifoliate foliage which is about five inches long.
