Sprawling up the side of a multi-story residential building in Weifang, east China's Shandong Province, this vine has captured the interest of locals and passers-by. Known as Chinese trumpet creeper, or lingxiao, the vine has climbed five floors up the exterior of the building and has been growing for 20 years. After reaching full bloom this summer, it's bursting with clusters of trumpet-shaped orange flowers along its branches.
