Trumpet Flowers are acceptable including vines, shrubs, bushes, or trees and may include photos, paintings, or digital art.

Introduction: The classification of the Trumpet Vine(s) has recently changed with them now split between genera of Distictis and Bignonia (they were all formerly species of Bignonia).This vine can grow 20 feet to 30 feet tall (6 m-9 m) and has evergreen pinnate leaves, with two opposite leaflets. These leaflets are glossy, darkgreen, lanceolate and up to 4 in (10 cm) long. The flowers of these plants range from orange-red to yellow, red, white, to pinks and purples.  The blood trumpet vine has orange-red flowers that appear in late spring and summer. These flowers are about 2 in (5 cm) wide and are grouped into small terminal clusters.

 
Varieties: There are many different varieties of the trumpet vine. Since the plants have been reclassified they have been placed under other names. But, some varieties are still going by the same common name, “the trumpet vine”.
