Common name is the African Parachute Plant, but Parasol or Lampshade Plant would be good too!

wow!!! very amazing flower {-)

Fantastic!
Could be a design for an 'Ascot hat'!

Sticki - the flowers are about 35mm across. It's a vine so as big as you want plant wise, but for me it just twines around a 25cm support frame.
Thanks Leigh and Junna!
Do I get a percentage Lulu!

Thats cool, is it like a curtain? where do you grow all these lol i picture your house as this mad rainforest place with tropical bird noises and these colourful plants everywhere-or do you just have a greenhouse lol :-)) either way pretty cool!

My last house was good as it had a conservatory, but not here. Some are struggling and may have to go..............
26 Jun, 2012
I've seen blown glass in this pattern....11 years apprencticment!
26 Jun, 2012
too difficult for me but i love it
26 Jun, 2012
Could you just build a new conservatory instead lol :-)
26 Jun, 2012
Can't - it's a listed building.
26 Jun, 2012
