Trumpet Flower

I think I might like a Trumpet Vine to attract hummingbirds. The only thing that holds me back is the fact that the plant grows so big, something we really wouldn't want in our back yard. Anyone have experience with the Trumpet Vine and flower? The flowers are quite attractive. By the way, can you spot the two ants on the flowers?

These grow wild all over the towpath in our neck of the woods.

They do attract the ants too Vern.. can be a weed here in Oz, but very showy.

Lovely, Vern. These grow rampantly in the south of France and Italy, where I've just been, and can be huge! I guess you'd have to prune them regularly to keep them under control.
