Nasturtium leaf stems bend around the vertical side of a black trellis grid. The stems are bending left . The leaves are round and bright green with white veining radiating from the center. There are a few glimpses of bright orange flowers off to the left.

Nasturtium stems are bending around the vertical part of a black iron trellis grid. Both leaves and orange flowers can be seen mostly off to the left.

I discovered something interesting today that i did not know. I have viney nasturtiums climbing up the trellises in my elevated garden beds without tendrils or suckers...so how do they do it? The flower and leaf stems bend around the trellis grids.
