Campsis radicans
Trumpet vine or trumpet creeper, is a species of flowering plant of the family Bignoniaceae. Normally a vine, here it grows like a tree, some 5 meters high. In July, full of bright red flowers.
Seen in arboretum in Trsteno, probably a part of collection.
Many thanks to all of you who helped ID this species, MrsPBio, Gilma Jeannette Ospino Ferreira-Norman and SukanyaDatta.

I agree with Mrs PBio, we have these in India too. Usually covering long stretches of tall walls. Check out the Wikipedia linkbelow

It is a Vine, I love it, and I have been looking for it in Costa Rica. I know they are all over in California can they be in Costa Rica?
Looks like this may actually be a vine growing in a tree? I'm thinking Campsis radicans, what we call "Trumpet Vine". Hummingbirds love it!
