Glorious Gleam Nasturtium

Tropaeolum majus

Conventionally Grown

Jewel-hued edible flowers adorn 3'-long trailing vines.

In the 18th Century, during his massive botanical naming project, Carl Linnaeus learned that his daughter, Elizabeth, saw flashing when she looked at nasturtium flowers in the evening. Scientists of the day theorized about electricity, phosphorescence, and the paranormal. Linnaeus was content to dub it "The Elizabeth Linnaeus Phenomenon" and leave it at that. You, too, can observe it: it's an optical illusion caused by the interaction of green and orange in the pale light of dusk.

About the artist

Artwork by Suzanne Fortin. In order to highlight the way these nasturtiums capture and reflect light and color, artist Suzanne Fortin used hand-cut glass mosaic pieces to create a tile that glows, shines, and dims with the natural light of the morning, afternoon, and evening.

    Nothings better than a flower you can eat… Hope to grow a bunch more next year; they’re lovely and make a salad so much more than just a bowl of green. Love the artwork on the pack too
