Tropaeolum 2011

[Jean-Patrick AGIER]

Tr ARGENTINUM: only one seedling this year although a lot of seeds of various origins have been sown. Many different exposures, composts...This species seems very tricky to germinate and if we are unable to grow new plants reliably it might disappear from cultivation!

Another pic of Tr PELTOPHORUM grown at home. It flowers ( for me ) in Autumn. I've cross-pollinated the flowers with Tr PEREGRINUM. Some seeds maturing. Some interesting surprise next year?

We'll be interested to see what the cross produces, J-P.

Tropaeolum PEREGRINUM at LYON's BG. The plant grew late in the season but thanks to the mild 2011 autumn is still flowering now...
