Hi Rimmer,

Rimmer, very nice Tecophilaea but I think that is perhaps a hybrid - I don't think the true violacea has such a large white eye. Equally Tecophilaea cyanocrocus var. leichtlinii is sky blue - yours looks more violet so that may be a hybrid also. Hopefully I'll post some pictures in a few weeks.

We have very strong sun here in Kentucky compared to Michigan perhaps that has some impact on colouration.

Just re-potted a Tropaeolum azureum that I haven't done for a few years and was surprised at the size - I wasn't aware the tubers got this large. This one is 12 years old. Does anyone know if they get even larger with greater age?

That's about as large as the biggest we have, Paul. Magnificent, isn't it?  Ours have not gone beyond around 20 years before  fading, leaving  small tubers behind. We get regular seed  - not bigger tubers than that though.

Any advice on how to get azureum, hookerianum and others to break dormancy each year?

I often struggle to get my potted Tropaeolum to spring back into growth in the autumn but find that a few small tubers that have escaped into the sand plunge grow more reliably.
