or wall with vibrant orange flowers, Pyrostegia venusta, also known as flamevine or orange trumpet vine, is a popular plant species in gardens. Originally native to southern Brazil, Bolivia, northeastern Argentina, and Paraguay, it is now widely cultivated. This evergreen climber can reach up to 5 meters in height and has opposite, pinnate leaves with two or three leaflets and a 3-branched tendril. Its orange flowers, which bloom from winter to spring, are pollinated by hummingbirds. The plant is sensitive to cold winds and prefers sunny, sheltered locations. It can be propagated from cuttings and is resistant to soil salinity. It is also found in eastern Australia, eastern Africa, and the southeastern United States. First described in 1863, its name, Pyrostegia venusta, comes from the Greek words for 'fire' and 'covering', referencing the fiery color of its flowers and their ability to cover surfaces like a flame.
