PLEASE wear bright orange during hunting season! (Trail is terrain 2 with waist high weeds – only last 20 feet or so are the higher level terrain)

This geoart is in honor of my mother-in-law, formerly known as the flower lady of Portville. The cache names are just some of the varieties she has in her gardens.  Read the description below to find the information needed to get the final coordinates of the cache.

Trumpet vine (Campsis radicans), also known as trumpet creeper, is a fast-growing perennial vine. The trumpet vine flower is great for attracting hummingbirds to the landscape. The beautiful tubular flowers range in color from yellow to orange or red. Blooming on the trumpet vine plant takes place throughout summer and into fall, though blooming may be limited for those planted in shady locations. Following its flowering, trumpet vines produce attractive bean-like seedpods. Trumpet vine plant is hardy in USDA plant hardiness zones 4-9. The woody vines are usually strong enough to endure winter while other growth will generally die back, returning again in spring. Since these vines can reach 30 to 40 feet (9-12 m.) in just one season, keeping their size under control with pruning is often necessary.
