Bloody Mary Nasturtium

Just popping by to say hi!  This is my first nasturtium flower to come out.  The flowers are supposed to be dark red and rich cream flecked.  I am looking forward to seeing it in full bloom.

  1. Once again an amazing photo, Simone. I'm so very happy to know you have a bit of your own garden to bring you joys such as this. Life today, without such a comfort, would be a burden indeed. Wishing you a good week ahead.

    1. It is really pretty Julie. I think they are meant to be cream with red streaks and flecks. We shall see! x

    1. Thanks Bonnie! The garden is doing well apart from the grass which has become sun bleached! :)

  5. Glad you popped by to say hi. The nasturtium is a lovely colour, I bet it will look wonderful when the plant is covered with flowers:)

    1. I'm getting impatient Rosie! I have sown so many seeds but it seems to be taking an age for things to flower. I bet soon I will be inundated with flowers and produce. Hopefully! :)

  6. So pretty! I'm jealous yours are already blooming. I have never grown this variety before, but I have grown some that look similar. I think I remember the colors getting even more interesting late in the summer when the nights were cooler. I think you said you were going to grow some white nasturtiums, too?

    1. This was the first one to bloom Anne. I think there will be a lot more red running through them as they mature. I am growing some cream coloured nasturtiums called milkmaid but they are yet to flower. I will share what they look like when they eventually bloom.
