This climber was in the walled garden at Gunby Hall in south east
Lincs. It was covering, and growing over the top of, a 3 metre wall.
It extended along the wall around 7 or 8 metres IIRC. The largest
leaves approach 15 cm in length. The flowers are around 2 - 2.5 cm
across.

Any ideas what it is?


Something about those flowers says Cucurbit to me.


I agree but don't know of any multi flowered Cucurbit.
Why not email a picture to Gunby hall saying where you took the pic and
ask them what it is.
