Re: yellow vine flower called tecoma stans


I am fond of Streptosolen jamesonii--marmalade bush--it looks very similar, but more of a gradiated orange/yellow. It also has that funny quality of almost seeming like a climber in early growth but becomes a big sprawling shrub, and the flowers are so cheerful. Grows fast, which is not always a good thing, but it has been for me--I am planting it in areas that need quick coverage.

I don't know the back story on it at all, but I bet one of you does!
