Are these a vine that grow on fences and look really bright even at a distance?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, sorry they're not. It is a plotted plant. No vines growing here. Does this help?
Good question by the way,

It's still very pretty so I faved it. It reminded me of a strange orange flowering vine I saw on several fences in the Dallas Fortworth area during spring and summer of last year. No one seemed to know the name.
The color is great!

the flowers when are closed or havent form yet they are a kind of a cocoon or something, u open that cocoon and take away whats inside and make some strange flower fight with it, dont remember it was like 12 13 years ago

Yes, exahusted. College is nuts this quarter. I feel at times I can't keep up. Or maybe it is because I'm a perfectionist.

When i was in the Uni and i was that tired i just started reading something i really liked, while hearing some slow music, and coffee or another drink in a park or soemthing. If you are a perfectionist thats cool, but remember that health comes always first.
Take care and good luck with the studies.

Thanks love. I got my Math Exam back and got a 96%. Almost the highest grade in the class. I learned being a perfectionst from both of my parents and worrying mainly from my mother. Learned behavior sadly.

I like the shape of the flower.
For tomboy, you seem have a lot of "girlie" interests.
That's all cool.
