Nasturtiums  by Weezilou

Nasturtiums

...because the Easter Lilies aren't in bloom yet.

Thank you all for the astounding response to the "Golden Hour" photo I posted. It helps to know that maybe I'm on the right path and need to keep practicing!

Happy Easter Everyone. Remember the significance of that first Easter, and we won't have to bear the weight of this year's current events alone.
I love these cheery flowers

I love nasturtiums but Les keeps pulling them out cos they interfere with her cottage garden flowers.

@golftragic Well, if I were lucky enough to have a cottage garden...! Several years back I kept them in a pot, but they have a mind of their own and can pitch those seed pods a fair distance. We gave in, and I do love their colourful fullness. In Portugal, the guide told us they're considered a weed, so Les in in agreement there!

yum, they are wonderful - rambling yes, but so cheery and delish! the leaves are peppery and go well in many dishes, while the flowers are sweet and make a great edible garnish. nice capture, mine are just starting to come up again, no flowers yet

@Weezilou The leaves are yummy in salads, quite peppery.

@koalagardens @golftragic The Australians must be on to something as they're in consensus! As lettuce is getting more difficult to come by, it looks as though I have a garden full of greens! We do like a salad with a lot of things in it... I'll let you both know! (Time was I couldn't imagine eating "Pumpkin Soup" until I was served it in Oz and now we eat it all winter!) The Joy of swapping International recipes!

Another plant I kill, along with mint and honesty.

Best wishes to you and yours this weekend

Beautiful! Love the knockout colours but hate the peppery smell. I don’t think I fancy eating them although I know lots of people do.
Happy Easter to you and Ken! Have a good day! Xxx

They take over my garden too but I love the colours and they're easy to pull out when they get a bit ratty. I find them a bit peppery for my taste so rarely eat the leaves.
