I guess it is crossvine, Bignonia capreolata, and not a trumpet vine.

thank you, Gurucharan ji...

now come to look at fig 2 closely, i can see the third leaf developing
into a tendril...

originally did not see any tendrils... that was not correct.
secondly, sorry donot have good enface flower pic... but enlarging
these in fig 1... I can see the 5 petals in the peculiar.. 1, 2, 2
arrangement, not exactly a perfect round...

Your observation is exact...

Thanks

I WILL CORRECT MY PICTURES label...

QUESTION>>>DOES IT GROW IN INDIA?

I had photographed one in California. Yet to see it here, but being cultivated, should find it surely at some similar place.

Thanks Mr Garg for digging out an old case.

And Gurcharanji

next time I go to the nursery I'll try and get someone to help me get the flower(s) down so they can be measured. 

The vine has survived for 40+ years, so hoping it will be there.
