Trumpet Vine

I've got lots of green, but no flowers. Gets afternoon sun.

Any suggestions?? :)

I know when I bought my house, there was one that did the same thing. I did a bit of research and found that it may need a pruning. So the next spring, I cut it back pretty good and the next year I got more blooms and this year it did amazing. I have even seen quite a few hummingbirds on it. So maybe try pruning it in early spring.
