Someone posted asking about a climbing, ivy leaf pel. I said I'd ask about

and can't get an ID I think Pelargonium Basketcase has a certain ring to it.
;-) Certainly, it seems to be a bit confused about what it should be doing.

Dunno what "climbing" means in this context - but in the greenhouses at
Temple Newsome House in Leeds (yorks) pelargoniums have been grown up the
rear walls for years. Some of them are 10 feet high with very large
spread. Is that what you mean by "climbing"?

I think it probably is. I know there's no such thing as a climbing
Pelargonium but some will scramble upwards, given the chance. The one I'm
thinking of must be around 18' high, I should think. It's outdoors in the
sheltered angle of two walls facing south and west.
