I just now did a search for "nasturtium" on this forum - looking to see if I could find the thread from this last Spring/Summer that had the most wonderful picture of nasturtiums I've ever seen (a gardener in England) - thinking that you could email that gardener to ask about the secret of his/her success. But I have run out of time - I only really had time to read one thread, but I think it might be of real help to you. It was titled "Nasturtium Growing Tips? What's the Secret?". It had a lot of useful information. Run a search for "nasturtium" and it will come up as the third or fourth thread listed. Good luck! P.S. I had them this last year, and I'll have them again this coming Spring. They weren't fabulous (it gets too hot here for fabulous), but they were delightful all the same, especially in the Spring and the late Summer, when the temps cooled off a bit.

enormous amount of colors would work. depends on your style..what vibe are you going for you can go natural and relaxed, a-la Serena & Lily..add whites, creams, linen colors, navy, natural fibers in fabrics.. you can do romantic, a bit old world-and go with whites and creams and maybe embellishments/embroidery on bedding or lace..or sway more colorful, get croshet or other patterns that will contain yellow-and other colors you can add purples, like aubergine, and warm reds (brick, scarlet red)..add a bit of chartreuse..it can be more glam, or more bohemian you can add all sorts of warm blues too..bold and can be more modern if you like it to be you can add whites and blacks and it can sway Traditional or Art Deco, and read more luxirious.or have a country vibe too, depending on where you take it. Just always vary textures a bit-or else can fall too flat, two dimensional. the less colors you use-the more textures you need. but you always need something shiny, something rough, something soft, something hard, etc. you can add plaid:) polka dots. stripes of course. abstracts. global patterns. florals! where your heart lies? it's never only color, it's always color of...surrounded by color of..reminding you of.. you can add colorful art-or ink drawings..or both realistic or abstract of funny posters? a bit of everything? you can add plants pick almost any furniture color-should signal more your style preference and feel that yo're after, both dark and light will work with your walls. Don't go too red though(in stain). Hard to pull off. Otherwise you're free look at different pictures(either search Pinterest or look through magazines and books, whatever works), think what yellow reminds you of (can be NYC cab-or forest in the fall, or..), think of what you want yor place to be, what movies you like even-what colors they had? What do you like to wear and why? If you go to travel-everything's beautiful, but what you choose when you can choose only one destination? A city, an island, a seaside, a countryside? Where are they? Start with what you want, think whether can be pulled off in your apartment, enjoy the process-your colors will come together eventually as a puzzle I used to have yellow walls for several years-I didn't pick the color. I truly had a blast with these, and it's not even my favorite color Make sure though you have enough light-in the evening you want your yellow to be as nice..look for warmer lights(I forgot how these are called). You have many options..choose whatever speaks to you the most, add/substract as you go, have fun!

In Addition: try sprinkling some Diotomacious Earth on the ground around the plants, and even dust up the plant base; they can't walk across it without dying. DE isn't a poison; DE gets in their joints an air passages and disables them.

Your post was extremely helpful! Before seeing your post we spent a lot of time trying several yellow samples on our home that just didn't look right...we found that yellow was a very tricky color to get right. So when I happened to come across your post, I showed my husband your home and he agreed that your yellow looked really nice. Since you had provided the name of the color, we were able to get a sample, painted a small area on our home and it looked great. So glad you posted a picture and shared the color you used! It really helped us out! Thank you Emily!! Janet and Mark
