Tecoma Capensis

Good morning GTers! I've been meaning to share this cape #honeysuckle for a while now. It is a scrambling, #evergreen shrub grown in #tropical gardens to attract #birds and #bees 🐝 #beefriendly #NewOnGT

Morning Pushkraj. That's beautiful, I love the colour. 🙋🙋

Love it! Got some seeds, hopefully they will take off :)

Gorgeous Pushkraj beautiful colour

Good luck Theresa! 😊 mine is about a ft tall, and I've recently shifted it into a larger pot, so I'm hoping it'll climb on @treefrog44

Have you seen the yellow and red varieties? Want a few of each one!

I've seen the yellow ones, but not the red @treefrog44 ... the red would be quite a focal point to have in the garden, but I thought the yellow one is rather a weak shade.

I would mix it with purple hyacinth bean or new Zealand castor plant :)

Hi Deborah, I'm glad you love it! Incidentally, the bark of this plant is used as a painkiller! But I'm not so sure about it, so didn't post it in the caption :) and I'm doing very well now, thanks. I'm back to eating normal food and going about my chores. I haven't felt even a bit of pain since, so I'd say it's a success @latebloomer

Ooh clever choice @treefrog44 ! TBH I wouldn't mind having the yellow one too, just for variety's sake.. the pale yellow would look charmingly against a green (ivy) wall 😊

Very nice 👍🏼- love the colour, it's a very subtle orange and not too intense.
