Description
These bright red, orange, and yellow nasturtiums (Tropaeolum majus) and their floral friends have the best seat in the garden! Taken in a friend's garden in Santa Maria, California with a Canon 5D Mark III.
Nasturtiums are also known as Indian cress and monks cress. Not only are the leaves and flowers edible, but the unripe seedpods can be pickled and used as a substitute for capers.
