While I was down at HomeDepot, I asked several pelple from the garden

One of them actually pointed me to the vegetable section!!! I was
wondering if it goes by some "common" name that the HD people would
recognize!

PS if anyone has a pic (or link with pic) handy, it would go a long
way! Because then, I can just show them the pick and say: this is what
I'm looking for! ;-)

Thanks!

Sorry to confuse you. No it's not the same. At least I don't think so.
The plant that goes by the common name "nasturtium" is a "new world"
plant (i.e. indigenous to the Americas, and therefore unlikely to be
encountered and named by a bunch of musty old Romans). There are
apparently other plants named in a genus 'nasturtium' (your link).
According to paghat (hi paggers), the genus of plant we are talking about
is 'Tropaeolum'. She also posted a link to a picture.
