Canary Creeper

I am a nasturtiumaholic.  The flowers wake up your tastebuds with a peppery taste and a sweet burst of nectar.  I recently discovered the canary creeper, Tropaeolum peregrinum which is also a member of the nasturtium genus.  All parts of the plant are reported as edible, and they have pretty flowers that I can't wait to devour. Here is a picture of the seeds. Only three of them germinated after a month in their cups. This next picture is a 2 week old seedling.  It has enjoyed the bright light and humid conditions of the indoors mini-greenhouse.
