Cup & saucer vine seed pod

!Wow! beautiful!

huge pod for such a flower!

ah I remember this

Is it a seed pod then?

not sure : /

I would say it was a seed pod Lulu. Hope you are lucky and get some seed for next year. - lucky you!

I will ask the bloke who gave it to me!! Overwinter in the giant glasshouse and watch it grow next year!

I've grown this before Lulu. Its proper name is Cobaea scandens. Its usually grown as an annual. I just looked it up in the RHS plant guide, its says frost tender 4C. So if you have somewhere suitable you could keep it. If not you can grow new ones from seed sown in spring. Thanks for reminding me of it, it's a lovely plant with beautiful dark purple flowers! (Sow the seed on its edge to stop them rotting)

Thanks for that!
This had pale green flowers though! Took a pic earlier on somewhere in my profile pics.maybe I tagged it, maybe not! will go check under cup and saucer vine!

really cool..
