Tropaeolum Majus (Garden Nasturtium) 金蓮花（キンレンカ）

Japanese follows English. 英語の後に日本語が続きます。

This is tropaeolum majus, or more commonly garden nasturtium, Indian cress or monks cress. It had only leaves for a long time, so I was surprised to find one day the round deep green leaves surrounding a bright orange flower.    

Tropaeolum majus 金蓮花

Garden nasturtium キンレンカ

Deep green leaves are beautiful, too 緑の葉もきれい

The bright orange is eye-catching! 鮮やかなオレンジ！

Various spring flowers, e.g., plum, peach, and cherry flowers, have been in bloom these days, but most of them are pink. Seeing flowers in a different color, i.e., orange, was a refreshing change for me!! 

All the parts above the ground, including flowers and leaves, are edible. Wow! A a salad with both in it must be so beautiful and tasty😋

金蓮花（キンレンカ）です。ずっと葉ばかりだったのですが、ある日一輪開花していました。最近ピンクの花ばかり見ているので鮮やかなオレンジは新鮮です。

花も葉も食べられるそうです。花も葉も使ったサラダ、食べてみたいです😋
