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.

Lovely picture. Was planning to put this in my window planter.
