Byline: Graham Porter IF YOU have ever seen the perennial cup and saucer flower, Cobaea scandens, in its full summer glory or an old conifer covered in the scarlet red flowers of the Flame Creeper, Tropaeolum speciosum, you will know that the world of summer flowering garden climbers goes way beyond the limited vision of clematis and the climbing rose. Annual climbers like the exotic Cobaea scandens, the cup and saucer plant, and the fabulous blue trumpets of morning glory, Ipomoea tricolor Heavenly Blue, planted in pots and grown up a tripod of bamboo canes can be popped into any gaps that appear in borders.
