nasturtiums


I have a long-standing prejudice against nasturtiums, because we used to have them in the garden when I was very young, and they were the flower that were guaranteed to contain earwigs.  I didn't like earwigs, at all.   But they seem to be all that I can grow by way of wild flowers, apart from poppies, despite all my enthusiastic seed-bombing.  However, the nasturtiums flourish, and I especially like this variation on the common-or-garden (and quite possibly earwig-filled, even though I rarely see this creepy-crawly in the US) orange variety.
