Tropaeolum peregrinum

Hi all,

During the recent discussion of Tropaeolum I mentioned my error in
selecting the annual Tropaeolum peregrinum, from a seedlist ,which
I sowed in January which is mid-summer for me. I was concerned it
would not make it to flowering but it has . I know its not a
geophyte but hope you will enjoy the flowers as I have. Our weather
is still very mild for late autumn so I even have my fingers
crossed for seed.

It appears to be synonymous with T canariense - canary yellow is
a good description for the flower colour.

Or review the whole page at:

Incidentally when I reviewed the identity of this plant using the
Bernard Harkness Seedlist Handbook on the NARGS site

http://rockgardener.com/harkness/seedlist.cfm

I had trouble finding it , as it was spelt Tropaeoleum.
The few references I have use Tropaeolum as is on the wiki.
