    Hello Everyone

    This is my first post here. I'm into photography, and take a lot of nature/wildlife pics including birds, animals, and you guessed it, flowers & plants. I'm a total beginner as far as plant/flower IDs are concerned. Ok, I can tell a Daffodil from a Tulip, but that's about as far as it goes lol.

    Ok, intros over, my girlfriend took this picture last September in Regent's Park, London, UK and I'm wondering what it is. Being in a park, I'm guessing it's not a native British species? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Clarke

    Hello ClarkeRobinson

    Looks like a variegated nasturtium latin name tropaeolum. a common plant for gardens in the northern hemisphere but a bit of an aphid factory

    The one with the variegated leaves is called Tropaeolum majus 'Alaska'.
