iNaturalist: lauralovesbirds
Native Plants
American trumpet vine's bright orange blooms are a magnet for ruby-throated hummingbirds, so spotting it in your neighborhood means you may be closer to attracting one than you think.
Someone observed and photographed American trumpet vine growing along Douglas Road in Chesapeake, Virginia, and the sighting was confirmed as research-grade on iNaturalist. This native vine is known for its showy, trumpet-shaped orange flowers that hummingbirds love. It climbs fences, trees, and walls using small rootlets, spreading readily once established.
