Subject: [pbs] Tropaeolum tuberosum

For me, at any rate, although I have heard similar words used by others,
this climber has been a disappointment when it comes to blooming. It has
beautiful, brilliant flowers but it does not seem to want to show them, no
matter what I do. So, a few days ago I saw it at a plant sale, a few dozen
little plants on sale, and one big one with it huge tuberous roots potted

in a wide but shallow ceramic cntainer. It was magnificent, like a coiled
bonsai, with its lovely succulent leaves. Not a flower, of course, but

of character when treated this way. Anybody else found a way to use it?
