THEY COULD BE WITH US 'TIL FROST

"Nasturtiums, who colored you,
you wonderful, glowing thing?
You must have been fashioned 
out of summer sunsets."
Lucy Maud Montgomery

Tropaeolum majus
There are many varieties. The trailing one Mary Lou shared
from her hothouse liked to climb & stretch to let us know she
was keen to grow and self-seed. But never invasively.
Mary Lou's parent flowers from four years ago can be seen
 HERE

New seeds are for sale in handmade packets
at the Gatehouse, Squaw Bay Road, Shaw Island.
