Hmmm.. without an idea of size, I'm guessing a potato flower as I had an identical looking flower growing out of my compost bin last year, with alternate white and lilac stripes on the flower.
If it is a potato flower, I have no idea the variety as they kind of just 'appeared' in the magical way my 'compost tomatoes' did this year...

Is it some sort of fruit??? It looks like you could eat the yellow centre bits!!Comment

Knowing not much about veg - first growing year - and even less about flowers, my most logical thought is that Nick is a mostly a 'flower man' on his plot BUT he wouldn't have posted in 'fruit and veg showcase' if it wasn't .....
So, something that guru Nick grows, but is unusual even by his standards. Flower does look potato/tomato, so what's related, but unusual? Aubergine?
I'm probably miles out, but good game, Nick!Comment

Look similar to my Arran Pilot flowers. Or a nightshade!Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

Deffo not Nightshade, thats much more trumpet shaped, smaller and a lot darker purple!
Apart from saying its a flower, thats all I can offer I'm afraid!Blessings

Having looked at my Milva flowers today I will go for potato flower. Is it one of the varieties you planned to plant or is a random stray?Bright Blessings

I'm impressed. I have obviously not wasted my vast knowledge on you all
Muckdiva is spot on. It is indeed a Maris Peer tatty (in all senses of the word) . Just goes to show you how nice they are when you get up close to them though.
For info it's about 4x full size on the pictureLast edited by nick the grief; 06-06-2007, 12:12 PM.ntg Never be afraid to try something new.

Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.

Ooooh, I was right - some knowledge from the vine must indeed have rubbed off on me when I wasn't looking. Pretty flowers aren't they though.
