Trumpet Creeper Flower - a photo on Flickriver

Campsis radicans creeping and flowering all over the old arbor at the Daniel Boone Native Gardens. The flowers became a popular rain shelter for tiny insects on this day. The orange-red color and the long tubular structure are typical for flowers pollinated by hummingbirds. They make large amounts of nectar for the birds to drink, which is very popular with insects, too, of course. Once fertilized, the corolla tube and stamens fall off, just leaving the carpel to develop into a fruit. You can see the long style and stigma remaining on the top right.
