Looks like scarlet trumpet honeysuckle but I am not sure.

Thanks! Lovely stuff. There was some beautiful columbine, too, but, sadly, a lot of failed photos of it.

Lonicera ciliosa, orange honeysuckle, western trumpet honeysuckle would be my guess. Looks like you had a nice weekend in the woods.

The Western tanager is gorgeous, whether you call it bird or flower. I think the orange flower you ask about must be a species of honeysuckle. The tubular flower shape and joined-up opposite leaves certainly seem to indicate that. Hope this helps!
