A beautiful crossvine

Our neighbor has planted a small pollinator-friendly patch in her garden, in one of the few sunny spots.  She has a lovely garden;  we particularly admire her fence edge plantings  They’re remarkable and welcome.

This crossvine (Bignonia caproleata) was a recent fence addition and is hopefully providing a bit of sustenance for ruby-throated hummingbirds now heading north through our region.  A female checked out our kitchen window a couple of days ago, perhaps attracted by our red buckeye, then noticing the Anthurium — inside the window.


Our hummingbird feeder has been up for awhile, although its primary beneficiary so far has been a young black bear — hopefully, the hummingbird had a quick drink there, too.
