![]() (Susan, the nasturtiums are coming up in this corner, after all. It's such fun when you've given up hope of a thing to find it has suddenly popped up. ) (Cock Robin had ceased to subsist solely on worms and ate rice, corn, lettuce and nasturtium seeds. He had grown to be a huge size . . . the "big robin" at Ingleside was becoming locally famous . . . and his breast had turned to a beautiful red. )
(Anne sat up o' nights to pore over seed
catalogues in January and February.) |

この花、種から簡単に発芽し、春と秋の花壇を彩ってくれますが・・・・。
英名はNasturtiumですが、これは正しくはオランダガラシ(クレソン)属を指す学名です。 (『村岡花子』 河出書房新社 河出ムック64p )
南米ペルーからイギリスへ、そして中国を経由して日本へ渡来したのは明治時代でした。
