Q is for....

      Q is for "Quartervine"   Bignonia capreolata also known as "Crossvine". This woody vine was originally found in East Texas but has now naturalized in many parts of the state. The vine can grow to 50 feet. Around my house, you can find these flowers by looking up... way up in the trees. The flower colors have variations from bright red and yellow to solid orange, red and others.

The pink and orange ones do kind of look like hibiscus colors don't they.
