I love these …Datura (Datura stramonium), herbe du diable toxique, also called Angels Trumpets but they are very toxic …
I think these are grape vine flowers (with obligatory border Collie)

It’s growing at the base of an apple tree (in my outback wilderness) felled at right angles by La Tempeste…it’s also growing up my wooden barn out front…last year I picked a bunch of “grapes” and ate them…no wonder I thought they tasted a bit sour…x

Hemerocallis, commonly called day lilies. Wish they lasted longer.

Yes there is a sudden blaze of glorious orange flowers but they go over very quickly…My neighbours have a climber that grows up and over an archway to their front garden…that’s beautiful too…it flowers a little later and is a slightly deeper hue of orange…gorgeous …x

Looks like Chitalpa (chitalpa tashkentensis) to me, (not to be confused with Catalpa whose flowers are similar but is a much bigger tree with heartshaped leaves).
There’s also a shrub called a desert willow (chilopsis linearis) which has similar flowers but the leaves are thinner.
I have a chitalpa in my garden but it is a bit spindly so I think it is going to get a good cutting back this winter, we shall see what happens.

Thank you Vero - It’s an unusual but beautiful flower very welcome in our sparse garden.

Growing up the back of the wooden barn…last year I helped it along with string to secure it’s position…last year I was able to get to the walnut tree at the front without too many problems to pick a ton of walnuts for my neighbours…(I also have an amazing walnut tree at the rear which provides more than enough for me and lots to share with them too…) this year I appear to have an orchard of baby walnut trees at the front where this is growing as well… …think I may need to at least clear a pathway to be able to harvest this year’s walnuts for them…x

We had a passion flower growing inside a conservatory in UK… it was meant to be outside, but it is very persistent and sent shoots up everywhere, even between cracks in the concrete. Beautiful flowers… and strange fruits…
