gocce di pioggia come perle / raindrops like pearls

mother nature as jeweller

I am endlessly fascinated by the way raindrops embroider leaves and flowers in my garden, especially nasturtium leaves.

Flowers, young leaves and seedpods of garden nasturtium are edible and I have featured them in some recipes: my Rattlesnake bean salad uses nasturtium-infused vinegar and my roasted cauliflower uses the pickled seedpods.

Preview: a story I wrote about the nasturtium in our garden will appear in the upcoming issue of Remedy Quarterly.

This is my contribution to edition #137 of Black and White Wednesday - A Culinary Photography Event created by Susan of The Well-Seasoned Cook, now organized by Cinzia of Cindystar, and hosted this week by me, Simona of briciole.
