When we were going to move here (6 years ago now on the 15th June) I took a Trumpet Vine pod from the vine at the apartments. I managed to grow on 2 vines and one finally flowered a few days ago !
Its looked upon as an invasive in towns.. but out here its a wild vine seen in the woodland edges. I don't have a problem with it spreading a bit !
