What's the flower?

This spring I was given a paper cup containing a few nasturtium seeds - a plant I haven't seen much since I was a child, when we had a skimpy border of little plants. I stuck the seeds in the ground without expecting much.

They are striking. The flowers are hot, tropical orange. The foliage looks like lily pads, floating gracefully. The plants are spreading beauties - and if they spread too much, they're good in salads. A new garden favorite.
