I did say it was - er - very biological. It's not for the faint-hearted, or the narrow-minded.

They started off as seeds on my kitchen window sill, about April. When they had about 4 leaves they went into a little plastic grow-house in the garden then, about June, into grow bags on the patio. I had 2 plants but 1 died due to rain and gales. The other one has been cosseted, cajoled and nurtured. They make magnificent plants when they start to grow, the vines shoot along the ground, with pairs of huge green leaves, and the flowers are very big and very showy and very bright yellow.
