Dear All, Today I repotted my pot of Tropaeolum tricolorum, I had left it undisturbed in the same pot for some years but felt I should repot it this summer before it starts to grow. I remember having planted 2 or 3 round tubers from different sources. To my surprise the whole pot was full of tubers, some of them showed just the first sign of growth. There were 3 distinct type of tubers: Big solitary ones, the biggest one about 3 inches diameter slightly elongated. Then there was a funny chain of 5 smallish round tubers each about half an inch across, all linked to each other by a thin brittle root, the distance between the tubers being about half an inch to an inch. This chain might have been longer but as the linking root was brittle it might have broken into pieces when I turned the pot over. And a third type of tuber was there, long finger-like irregularly shaped tubers with fatter and slimmer sections. And then there were intermediate forms in between these 3 types, so it looks as if the tuber can have any shape or size. This is the only winter growing Tropaeolum that reliably sprouts each year (hope it does so after I disturbed it) whereas the other ones like T azureum or T brachyceras can have very prolonged dormancies. Has anybody else observed these distinct types of tubers in the same species? Bye for today, greetings from warm and moist Germany, Uli
