My six year old crossvine has really grown up the cherry tree

This native non vine clematis is blooming even though I've never seen a hummer use it they are pretty bells

Hello Sarah,

Lovely pics! That's a pretty tall Cherry Tree...Wow!
The "woodsy" appearance reminds me of when I lived in Connecticut where they have trees...LOL

Thanks everyone! I think you are right Ward it's either the viorna or addisonii. `I saw a hummingbird use the vine way up there but I wasn't fast enough with the camera. This particular crossvine is called dragon lady and is hardy to zone 5 So it might be an option for the more northern humgardner.

I love the crossvine growing up the cherry tree. I wish I had some tress for my vines to grow on.

The picture of the Crossvine climbing up the tree is very attractive.
