One of the best Nasturtiums I've grown from seed. But, Aphids infested them all and weakened them so much, I had to dispose of them. I don't use sprays.
This & the next image are immerging Dahlia flowers.
I have always enjoyed your floral shots. They are beautifully detailed and delicate. The fuschia look like they’re all dressed up and ready for a night on the town! My grandmother had nasturtium growing from large pots on her front steps and since they were edible we thought it was fun to take a nibble every once in awhile. It always seemed a bit exciting and risky. To this day I love seeing them anywhere!
They can self seed everywhere but the Aphids finished them off in only a few hours, they just wilted and died. So, no plants, no seeds to spread about, but they were glorious while they lasted.

ReplyDeleteThank you Ann, you comments are always valued. The Fuchsia is fairly common and is called "Swingtime", I imagine they are going out dancing! ☺
DeleteLovely set of photos - for me the fuchsia stands out. Used to have Nasturtiums but they seemed to get out of control.
