Bignonia capreolata

E. Kingston Springs Road

Bignonia capreolata (Cross Vine) is a woody semi-evergreen vine
that grows "toward light" up to 50 feet. If you take a cross section
of the vine, it reveals an open pith in the shape of a cross.

What a fascinating vine, and ... you know how they say you learn something every day? Well, thanks to you, I just got my lesson!

Beautiful colors and a well chosen DoF Scott.
I didn't realize the cross vines were blooming already. Early it seems.

Beautiful capture of the green leaves and red flowers...on the tree bark. Vote

Neat picture! I thought it was insects clinging to a tree, at first glance...

The leaves look like the wings of colored cicatas! Very unusual image. The 400mm makes a very nice bokeh.

Wonderful presentation, Scott. I have a Cross Vine, but it is not in its natural setting. This is lovely.

Reminds me of a design on a totem pole, especially from the thumb!

That looks so cool Scott! I'd love to see that in real life. Love the way you presented it here.
