Valarie, the yellow Tropaeolum in your pictures is not T. ciliatum, but T. brachyceras. Please ask @zuzu to move both pictures to the correct entry.

Tropaeolum ciliatum blooms much later than T. brachyceras, T. tricolor, T. azureum, etc. and has much larger leaves (the size of T. speciosum) and larger flowers as well.

Anyway, nice plants you grow in New Zealand!

thanks Ursula i will get on to it.

Hi Valarie!

I´m busy cleaning the seeds I collected from my T. azureum and checking the pictures posted in the PDB I realize you succeeded growing T. tricolor and T. brachyceras. Do you want to give the T. azureum a try? I also collected T. brachyceras with some bronce coloured blooms among them.

You would have to wait until January for me to mail them, since I will be very busy these days.

Greetings from Chile,
