I knew unconsciously something was different, but I just disregarded it. Then today, I had the same feeling again, so took pictures of the flowers and did research. These are authentic Chinese trumpet vines (Campsis grandiflora), not trumpet vines native to North America (Campsis radicans), which, I thought to be, the Chinese ones.
Chinese and American trumpet vine flowers resemble each other very much, i.e., both are orange, shaped like trumpets, but are still distinctly different in the length of the flower tube. American trumpet vines have longer and thinner flower tubes than the Chinese counterparts.
If you feel something is wrong, you should trust your senses. Otherwise, it would take more than a year to appreciate differences like me to realize the difference between American and Chinese trumpet vines😅

ずっと変だなとは思ってたんですが、気のせいかなと思って無視してたんです。でも今朝、やっぱり違うと思って調べたら分かりました。これがほんとのノウゼンカズラ（凌霄花）。今までノウゼンカズラと思っていたのはアメリカノウゼンカズラ。よく似てるけど、花筒が長くて細いのがアメリカノウゼンカズラです。違いに気づくまで1年以上かかってしまいました😅。
