I dig the colors and the way they vary, from the bud to open flower.

Happy Fourth to you and your gorgeous Trumpet flowers!

You can pull 'em out by the roots...and they will bloom next year.

You can douse them with gasoline and scorch the earth around them...and they will bloom next year.

You could nuke 'em with the plasma of a thousand suns...and they will bloom next year.

They are beautiful, but they take over EVERYTHING!
