What a great picture! I was having trouble getting my seeds to sprout 🌱 until our first rain of the season and now they are thriving. Mine are outside in afternoon sun. No blooms yet.
That’s so beautiful. What plant is this blooming?
@ImpartialMakole it’s a nasturtium - the variety is β€œAlaska mix” if I recall. I read that they’re tender perennials, so when I sowed some for potted plants last spring I set one aside to keep indoors
It sure is pretty
@ImpartialMakole thank you!
@ImpartialMakole tasty too! The flowers and leaves are edible, a little radish-y, good in salads

Wow that's a beautiful nasturtium, what variety do you have?
@GardenCat43 thank you! Alaska mix from Harris seeds. It’s a more vining habit than I prefer, but the leaves are really pretty and it tastes pretty good. I’ve had others I prefer, but it’s hard to find one bred for flavor instead of looks ime
