These sprung up in the middle of my Azaleas this year. In my 10 years at this home, I have never planted anything in this area and have never seen these before. Any ID ideas?
Mystery trumpet shaped flowers

This is my garden several years back.
I was thinking trumpet vine, but the leaves don't quite look the same and our flowers are orange. If that is what it is get it out of there asap! They are most invasive. We have acreage that is full of it. Once established it is impossible to get rid of.

Might be Crossvine (bignonia capreolata) which is not invasive and hummingbirds love it. Here it is growing on our backyard fence:
And here is a close-up view of the flower:
