Tecomaria capensis

Description

This, the Cape Honeysuckle, Tecomaria capensis, (sometimes placed in the genus Tecoma) is a scrambler or shrub widespread here in South Africa and often grown in gardens.  The flowers attract nectar-feeding birds as well as insects.  It is grown all over the world today, surviving in warm climates.  It can withstand dry conditions, losing its leaves.  In a cold winter the vines might die back but resprout again from the rootstock the next spring.  Charcoal drawing, coloured with Photoshop.
