CURVY CAPUCINES...

 

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

 

Capucine is the name of this flower in French.

 

In English, the flower is called Nasturtium indicum.

Tropaeolum majus is a species of flowering plant in the family Tropaeolaceae, originating in the Andes from Bolivia north to Colombia.

 

An easily-grown annual with disc-shaped leaves and brilliant orange or red flowers, it is of cultivated, probably hybrid origin.

 

Nasturtiums are used as companion plants for biological pest control, repelling some pests, acting as a trap crop for others and attracting predatory insects.

 

Both the flowers and leaves of the Nasturtium plant are edible and have a peppery taste, similar to that of watercress.

 

Have a fun day and thank you for your visits and comments, M, (*_*)
