They do not like heat. They're just beautiful until it starts getting hot down here in the south....then they look horrible until fall.

I like your sense of humor.

Nice plant, except that it is called Tropaeolum, not Nasturtium (Nasturtium is watercress). It does not matter much, since the tree remotely related genuses Tropaeolum, Lepidium and Nasturtium are mostly exchangeable as far as food is concerned (i.e. they taste similar due to their isothiocyanates).

PS: The leaves are edible too.

Nasturtium may refer to:

The plant genus Tropaeolum, commonly known as Nasturtium

The plant genus Nasturtium, a kind of water cress

Nasturtium is the common name for Tropaeolum, as well as being a type of watercress :)

Looks lovely, anyway. And tastes good.

Throughout my childhood I'd eat flower petals. I loved them. Whenever I tell people this now they look at me as if I were crazy.

"She loves me, she loves me not, she loves..." She had better! Chef John, your fans are just waiting in the wings! Cooks, gardens, even keeps the stove clean, is funny, and has a voice as sweet as fresh picked corn; what else could a woman want of her man?

[swt2th]

[Learn2Cook]

I think she was refering to certain herbal appitite enhancers.

[foodwishes]
