Karen that is the Tecoma bush isn't it? I have several, one is huge and has had blossoms on and off all summer. The Hummers love it. My other three are crappy. I find they take a lot of water and get attacked by caterpillars this time of the year that really messes them up. My big bush did not have too many issues with this but the others, not so good.

If you want spectacular orange blossoms the Cape Honeysuckle bushes, Tecoma Capensis, are spectacular. Mine are as tall as me and just covered with blossoms especially as a result of the rains we have had this summer. These bushes are tough, even when they get stressed, after the rains they bounce back. Thumbs up
