Re: identifying plants in photographs

Dear All,

Tecomaria capensis has always been one of my favorite plants as well. When
I first became interested in plants as a teenager in the San Francisco bay
area this was one of the first that I noticed. It is such a handsome thing
all glossy green with cheery orange flowers (and other shades). And easy to
care for as well.

Unfortunately I wont be seeing my teenage crush much or if all here in
Oregon's Willamette Valley (too cold in the winter). Great trees here
though.
