Capucines







Orange, yellow or red,  these flowers called 'Capucines' in French
or Nasturtiums in English
have been the stars of my garden this year.
Their wonderful detail and delicate perfume take my breath away!

I saved the seed-pods for next year and picked the last blooms
to put in my favourite circular vase.

  7. Lovely shots Sandra, don't you think the little frilly bits (sorry don't know what they are called) look like eyelashes.
    It is such a pretty flower. :)

    I have never had good luck trying to grow them, but you have surely inspired me to give it another shot next spring.

  13. Exquisite images! Also I want to thank you for visiting Musing Crow and for mentioning the appearance of the font! I changed it so hopefully it will be easier on the eyes.

  17. Sandra, these are gorgeous! You have captured them in such beautiful detail, revealing things I've never noticed. They are favorites of mine, too, but sadly, they don't like our hot summers.
