Trumpet Vine Multi Blossom

Trumpet vine flowers are very attractive to Hummingbirds, and many types of birds like to nest in the dense foliage.  It is also known in North America as   “Cow Itch Vine” because the leaves can cause a rash in some animal like cows.

The petals of the delicate flower of Campsis radicans (trumpet creeper, Hummingbird Vine or trumpet vine) form a corolla tube with five spreading lobes. A shortened calyx tube covers the base of the flower. This plant can quickly overpower a small area and will climb on many surfaces.

Paper-cuts are chiefly used as decorations. I really enjoy paper crafts for several reasons. First, there are so many things I can create from a few pieces of colorful paper or card stock.  Another reason is paper crafts are economical and easy to store. And paper crafts range from simple to complex. We can use recycled papers, tissue papers, magazines, wrappers, envelopes and cardboard containers for paper crafts.
