Hello,
I've posted before ( 2011 ) about the Geraniaceae Group ( UK ) and one of its publication: the Tropaeolum Newsletter edited by Richard CLIFTON. Issue N°12 is out and offers pictures very kindly sent by John & Anita WATSON. This is an extraordinary gift from these famous botanists.  All pictures are originals taken in the wild never published before and botanically discussed by the publisher. There's also a short note from John WATSON about one of its favourites ( Tr ARGENTINUM ).
I can't tell how great it is...
Copies  ( £5 each ) can be obtained by contacting the publisher:
Richard CLIFTON
The Geraniaceae Group Administration
5 Tower street
Dover
Kent
CT17 0AJ
ENGLAND

Publications on Tropaeolum are so few. Many enthusiasts might be interested in this one.

Thanks Jean-Patrick.  Unfortunately I haven't got around to joining the Geraniaceae Group yet but must send for it too.

Wonderful-and well grown-tropaeolum!
Just a botanical comment: this plant has now been raised to species status by John Watson & Anita Flores ( based on DNA studies ). It must be referred to as Tropaeolum AUSTROPURPUREUM.

Tatsuo,

That is such a beautiful colour.  Looks very happy to.

Wonderful to see everyone's Tropaeolum.  Thanks for posting them.

Jupiter.  Did you sort out what your unknown seedlings were?

Thank you, JP! Your latest botanical informations are very helpful. I'll update my label tommorow :)

Paul T, thanks ;) Perhaps your tropaeolums have just started their growing season.

Tatsuo,

Not that I'm aware of yet.  Probably enough weeds in some of the pots that I would spot them until they were further advanced anyway. ::)

Hello,
Due to the loss of quite all of my tubers I'm only able to post a few pics from Lyon's BG's collection.
The first ones are of Tr MINUS. This is a forgotten-not to say despised species- but I do love it. The flowers are really nice...The BG has managed to get some seeds which have greminated!
Hope the forumists will like it.

Hi

After the last two awful winters my collection is beginning to recover.  I thought that you might like to see a couple of pictures of hybrid plants and one of T. beuthii.

344417-0

Hybrid 1
344419-1
Hybrid 2
344421-2
T. beuthii

Hopefully I will have a few more and will post these in the weeks to come.

I thought Tropaeolum hookerianum was lila/blue
for me this looks more as T. brachystemon
but I am not a specialist , maybe I am wrong

Roland

 Roland,
There are 2 species quite similar and they've been separated recently:
- Tr HOOKERIANUM which bears yellow flowers
- Tr AUSTROPURPUREUM ( previously known as Tr HOOKERIANUM ssp AUSTROPURPUREUM or Tr LEPIDUM ) which has purple blue flowers ).
