Its raining today. I have a hanging plant with nasturtiums and taking a photo as below, I never knew they had that centre!
If you zoom to get a good photo and can’t be very still as required, take the photo from way out but with the greatest resolution, then crop it. I’ve only read 50 pages of this 350 pages of the book John gave me and I need to read those 50 again!
Three good things:
1. Had steak and onions and put sugar in the onions and they became ‘caramelised onions’!
2. Fire on again today!
3. Enthusiasm for anything!
Well this is certainly a magnificent photo of the spectacular flower. Apparently you are learning something from that book that John has given you. As long as you keep working with it you will remember a lot of it don't sell yourself short.
It sounds as if your weather is behaving like ours and seasonal. Your onions sound divine. Good thing you had some enthusiasm for cooking
I bought a magazine called Delicious the other day simply because it had a bowl of onion soup on the front cover. I made sure I had all the right ingredients in to make it including Gruyere cheese but up to now I haven't had the time. I was reminded because you start of by frying onions with added sugar to caramelise them.
Your nasturtium looks very exotic!
@happypat I know that onion soup has gruyere cheese in it but that is one cheese I don't like! Would be nice with any other sort of hard cheese though!
@maggiemae The recipe has crusty bread with the cheese on the top so not actually in the soup. I have never had that type of cheese & I only bought a bit. Will try soup recipe this weekend.
Thanks Maggiemae. I have been dealing with some health issues - hoping to be back in the saddle after the New Year. My hubby bought me a wide angle lens for my birthday recently so there is some motivation. I have been taking pics but not posting. Hope to change that soon and so happy to see so many of my friends still here.
What a interesting and pretty flower. I took a shot of some of Becky's Nasturtiums a summer ago but I don't remember them being as frilly. Love the color you got here.
as beautiful as it is rich in its colours, they have an eeriness about it by looking at those seemingly sharp protrusions. which i would guess would be as soft as the petals anyway, but just the same...aces for the shot!
What a beauty -- just reminds me to buy some seeds for next year -- I have not grown any for years , and they are very pretty and flower for ages ! We always had them in my mum's garden , (Flowers and seed-heads edible )We always dried the seed heads from year to year but occasionally my mum would spot a new variety she would like to grow !
Wonderful nasturtium Maggie. I made some stock yesterday and am turning it into soup at the moment. I think it will be loosely described a vegetable. I just raided the veg box and the fridge and added anything I fancied. I hope it turns out OK!
Love this plant and especially the lovely color this one has. I've never tried growing them, but your previous picture gave me the idea. maybe I should try them in a pot and let the flower hang down over our 6 ft high deck railing. what do you think, would that work. fav.
