Nasturtium

Common name: Nasturtium, Garden nasturtium, Indian cress

These were the first flowers I saw as I walked into Lodhi gardens, New Delhi.  In yellow and orange, they made a pretty sight as they swayed in the breeze.  I loved the leaves as much if not more than the flower.
The leaves are also used in salads and the seeds as food.


 Botanical name: Tropaeolum majus Family: Tropaeolaceae (Nasturtium family)
