Trumpet vine gracing the porch. BTW, that's an earwig inside the lower left flower.

A cluster of pale apricot colored trumpet vine flower buds are slowly opening. Two are fully opened, showing the five overlapping petals at the top of a long tube shape. The one on the lower left has an earwig sleeping inside. The flowers contrast nicely with the pinnate dark green leaves. The closed buds are long and slightly green, with a star shape outlining the petals at the top. It's interesting that the pistil and anthers are so closely held against the top to the trumpet, showing the flowers have evolved to allow hummingbirds and insects to forage deeply, catching pollen on their heads and bodies.
