Wild Flowers

Here are some wildflowers that are blooming right now in San Diego North County California.

These are some Nasturtium Flowers.

From red, orange and yellow. .

They are so pretty.

A bit closer.

You can eat every part of this plant. From its seeds to the flowers.

The taste is like a sweet mustard. You can find tons of recipes online.

You can use the flower in salads. The seed pods as a caper substitute.

You can blend the leaves into butter or soft cheese for a spicy flavor.

These grow wild here but they can grow anywhere for an edible garden.

Have a great day and enjoy nature!

    I always prefers edible plants but my mum prefers “beautiful plants” that do not bear edible fruits… LOL
    This plant seems to combine what we both like :p
