Nasturtiums

 
Beside being a beautiful fast growing flower for me.    I like using it in my salad and the taste is a little peppery.
I have this one in a pot but will plant more in my flower bed as it fills in and adds such pretty jewel tone color to the garden and pots.   Easy to grow , the soil this one is in is a little sandy.
  I will be lining a walkway or maybe my flower bed,   as the deer and rabbit do not like them - makes that one flower I will be able to have that is pretty.  Such a nice scent the flowers have too.
 

Orange and yellow blooms on this one plant.  The leaves are mottled with light and darker green color.

I am sharing with -The view from here weekly top shot and Blooming Tuesday

Love using these flowers in salads and as edible garnishes for the tea table. Your yellow ones are so cheery! Happy May, happy Mother's Day! Thx for visiting my blog :)
