Tropaeolum Tricolor

Wow!!!!

That is simply beautiful. Easy from seed?

Siris
easier to buy a tuber
have hand pollinated and saved a few seed but did not germinate

at 5ft 9in I can just walk under it.

Thanks for the information, was looking at seeds of above at Plant World Seeds, but will give them a miss. That was where I bought seed of Maurandya Red Dragon this year, which has germinated well, but the Billardiera not yet. I also (after seeing your white Iris pseudo?) bought 20 seeds of Iris pseudocorus Alba, from elsewhere, sowed 10, been thro' the washing/cold stratification business, got 9 germinated. Be interesting to see the difference.

Wow ,that's amazing is your greenhouse heated Brian ?

It is but only to keep it frost free,foliage and flowers will take quite a bit of frost but the tuber is tender,in the wid it grows from very deep under ground keeping it frost free.
the flowers are smaller than the picture indicates but a lot of them.
It's not really difficult given a sand bed to plunge the pot and a bit of patients adding pieces of string for a couple of months for it to climb over.

Siris keep us updated

Thanks for that Brian :o)

Will do Brian, the remaining 10 seeds are in the veg compartment in the fridge till about May, but I don't like to count my chickens before they have hatched.
