Campsis 'Madame Galen'

Flowers of campsis 'Madame Galen' (Campsis x tagliabuana). The flower bundles are significantly larger than those of campsis radicans. I cannot get enough of vines, especially trumpet-shaped vines! I have quite a few of these bignoniaceae family vines, and I just bought one more (bignonia capreolata) a few days ago!!
Doug says thanks for this pic - great to see something like this doing so well. And just in case anybody asks - this should be hardy to USDA zone 4 (give or take a bit) and acts almost as thug-like as the C radicans. :-)
