This one is not your run of the mill nasturtium. What species is it?

I found one that looks similar, Tropaeolum brachyceras from Chile.

Thankyou It's great to wake up to these lovely comments. I thought the species was Tropaeolum ciliatum but seeing T brachyceras I am not so sure
,it will grow to 2m. the seed did come from Ursula in Chile.

I'm still thinking about this plant...

Both species are really pretty and it looks like both are native to Chile.

According to this site, T. ciliatum is hardier and easier to grow, plus it's strongly scented. Lovey dubby There's another one that has my interest, T. polyphyllum, that hmm-hmm, is listed as "must have". Hilarious!

Tropaeolum polyphyllumdoes .........does look stunning.

It would seem easy to tell the two (Tt. ciliatum, brachyceras) apart. My Spanish isn't all that great, but.....
T. brachyceras has normal tubers, and T. ciliatum does not (the occasional root fleshiness sometimes occurs)

Have you looked at the Chile Flora site?
