CAMPSIS RADICANS

Frankly, I didn't know that we can grow the Campsis radicans (Synonym: Tecoma radicans; Common Name: Trumpet Vine, Trumpet Honeysuckle; Family: Bignoniaceae) in our outdoors here. But we don't try, we would never know right?

Just about 3 months ago, I saw an entire wall of Campsis in Europe.

BAY EAST

These Cape Honeysuckle (scientific name: Tecoma capensis; synonym: Tecomaria capensis) shrubs really love the dry spell followed by rain. Just months ago, it was looking stunning and now it has put up another spectacular display.


This is also the site where there is a population of Tawny Coster butterflies. It is just amazing!

BLUE PANSY

I don't even see the Blue Pansy so often at HortPark. This place is really amazing because I get to see them from time to time.

I hope this female finds a mate and seek out its host plants to lay its eggs. By the way, it was perched on the Tecoma capensis (synonym: Tecomaria capensis; common name: Cape Honeysuckle).
