Impossible???

Sorry, I cant take a photo, cant have my cell phone with me at work. Behind our building there is a forested area with very tall trees. In among many of them is some sort of vine with red-orange trumpet like flowers. the vines are VERY long sometimes covering a 40ft tree (may be several vines I suppose). Any idea what this might be? Maybe if I have some names I can Google it. Just curious as the flowers are rather pretty. I assume its native (NW Florida) and appears rather invasive.

I know its a long shot, its been bugging me since I noticed the flowers though!

Have a gander at ''Campsis radicans'' @vette-kid

Is it a trumpet vine?

LOL Great minds Tetters!

The others that spring to mind are Bougainvillea, and in Florida, maybe Bignonia or Hamelia ?

well, not so impossible after all it seems! From what I can tell that looks correct. Looks like I was right, it is rather invasive as well as native here. Thanks.

definitely not either of those. Trumpet vine for sure, if only I had known they were so creative with the name!
