Did you know..........
"FLOWER: : The nasturtium is a very interesting flower/plant. Nasturtiums are late bloomers that are usually orange or reddish in color. They are perfect for the fall. The leaves and flowers, when cooked, are used to treat infections, colds, flu and digestive issues. The nasturtium is not a very well known flower, so when your spouse asks what kind of flower it is, you can explain that it is the traditional 40th wedding anniversary flower. He or she will be impressed that you have done your homework."

Whoever wrote that couldn't have been much of a gardener!!
It's a bit of a bummer that I've never managed to grow a nasturtium successfully !
Gardening is an excuse not to do housework
