'''''Tropaeolum peregrinum''''' ('''canary creeper''', '''canarybird flower''', '''canarybird vine''', or '''canary nasturtium''') is a species of ''[[Tropaeolum]]'' native to western [[South America]] in [[Peru]] and possibly also [[Ecuador]].<ref name=grin>Germplasm Resources Information Network: [http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?401908 ''Tropaeolum peregrinum'']</ref><ref name=rhs>Huxley, A., ed. (1992). ''New RHS Dictionary of Gardening''. Macmillan ISBN 0-333-47494-5.</ref>
It is a climbing plant growing to 2.5 m high by scrambling over other vegetation. The [[leaf|leaves]] are 2–5 cm diameter, palmately lobed with three to seven (mostly five) lobes; they are [[leaf shape|subpeltate]], with the [[petiole (botany)|petiole]] attached within the leaf (not at the edge), though near the edge. The [[flower]]s are 2–4 cm diameter, with five frilled petals, bright pale yellow ([[Domestic Canary|canary]]-coloured, hence the English name), often with red spots at the base of the petals, eight stamens, and a 12 mm nectar spur at the rear.<ref name=rhs/>
It is widely grown as an [[ornamental plant]] in many parts of the world.

Tropaeolum peregrinum, Linn. (T. canariense, Hort.). Canary- Bird Flower. Annual, tall-climbing; glabrous: lvs. peltate near the margin, cordate-orbicular, divided to about the middle into 5 lobes, which are mostly apiculate: fls. canary-yellow, odd and very irregular; spur green, hooked; 2 upper petals erect and large, obovate-clawed, much fringed; 3 lower petals small and narrow and ciliate. Supposed to be native of Peru and Ecuador. B.M. 1351. B.R. 718. G.W. 10, p. 497—An excellent quick-growing vine, although the fls. can scarcely be called showy.
