Flower ID please

Mr. Vine Eye

Quite distinctive but I can't find it using plant searches online.

Please can someone identify them.

Thanks

TBH,I've not seen schizanthus since I left working in the garden centre in 1984, I think I was doing ok on the memory front, lol

It’s something Ma said my grandfather used to grow in pots in his greenhouse to bring into the house

I am surprised that it isn't more common. I grew it once and it had masses of flowers for ages. I must grow it again.

Thank you! It was for a Facebook friend who had a photo of it in her garden from a few years ago but couldn't remember what it was.

@Hostafan1. I’ve got schizostylis growing from seeds 😻
