The Nasturtium Flower and Round Leaves
The large flower is the main feature of this horizontal botanical scene. Its petals sit among overlapping nasturtium leaves whose veins spread outward from near the center, while stems and more foliage fill the surrounding background.
Nasturtium Facts
Nasturtium leaves have a waxy surface that makes water gather into rounded droplets and roll away. The leaf stalk joins near the middle of the blade rather than at its edge, creating the plant's distinctive shieldlike shape.
Natural Colors of Nasturtiums
- Flower petals: commonly yellow, orange, red, or warm combinations of these shades
- Flower throat: often yellow or orange with darker red markings
- Round leaves: blue-green, medium green, or deep green
- Radiating leaf veins: pale green or yellow-green

Questions and answers
Questions and Answers
Why does water bead up on a nasturtium leaf?
A water-repellent waxy layer covers the leaf surface. Water forms droplets instead of spreading flat and can carry loose dust away as it rolls off.
Why are nasturtium leaves almost circular?
Their stalk attaches beneath the blade close to its center. Veins radiate from that point and support the rounded leaf around it.
Do nasturtiums only have orange flowers?
No. Natural species and garden varieties also produce yellow, red, cream, and multicolored flowers, often with contrasting marks near the center.
