This plant was growing in a large border in a public garden. A trailing plant, it had leaves like a small fig leaf, but it was the shading of the flower colours which were particularly striking.
remember that if you want to grow it, it is a half hardy annual, so plants should not go outside until after the last frost [ IMO, probably not till late June, as it is very tender ] It will die after the first frosts of Autumn.

Hi Pommes
It's Ipomoea lobata (the Spanish Flag plant).
I've got some in a pot growing up an obelisk by my front door

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
It looks very much like Mina lobata 'Firecracker'

Spanish flag I think. I spotted it on a seed website this very morning.
