Tropaeolum speciosum - 2011 (Tropaeolum speciosum)

I was surprised to find this in flower this year - it likes cool, moist conditions, not the hot, dry weather we have had here in balmy Bracknell

I can't get it to establish in my garden,but at Kew it seeds self seeds well in the woodland garden.

That would be wonderful to have something so bright just growing by itself!

Richard - it survives rather than thrives with me. It doesn't flower every year so it's a surprise when it does
