Tropaeolum speciosum

Hi Amy ..
It certainly looks red hot ;o)

That's pretty Amy, love your rustic plants support.

really nice Amy, mines only just shooting up...

It will be TT when all the flowers are blooming it will be a flaming pole !! Home made Dawn naturally , we gardeners don't spend money if we can help it we prefer to spend it on plants ;o)

We clicked at the same time Slad, this has been outside all winter I'm amazed it has come through it so well , we put the pot behind a shed in a sheltered position , we probably wouldn't have been so lucky if it had been a hard winter ....

it has done well then, lovely plant this..

Amy done well with that, had it several times over the years and never had a flower.

Oh, I wish I could get this to grow for me. I have three bits that just sit there and never really get going.

Some invigorating colours in these rainy days you have :)) Very nice climber.

Very innovative Amy :-)

I wonder why yours didn't flower Brian ? it,s a shame .. ! I haven't any secrets Ojib I had two pieces one I planted in the garden ,the other in this large pot ,the one in the garden died , I have seen this growing in a hedge in someones garden it look stunning .. Thanks Kat / Dawn :o)

Did you grow it from seed initially Amy? I have often seen it when browsing in the seed department, may give it a go next year, especially as its hardy too;0)

This plant was sent to me by David in Scotland Carole , 18 months ago , he hasn't been on here for ages has he ? it must be hardy if they can grow them in Scotland , LOL...

OH thought he was growing this one, turned out to be yellow.....

I wonder what it was then ?? :o))

Who know lol
