N is for "Nasturtium"

 
Common Name: Nasturtium
Scientific Name: Tropaeolum

Nasturtium is one of my top favourite flowers. The delicate orange petals are enough to warm up my heart. Back home, it was usually  grown in winter-spring season and the bright flower would perfectly complement a sunny winter day.



After I moved to Delhi, I try to cultivate a bit of my maternal home and home State in our balcony. The above pictures are that effort. Aren't they a joy for the eyes? You can read more of my balcony garden in my post Progress Plant IV: Spring In My Home.
