nasturtium leaves taste very similar to watercress and can be used
interchangebly in recipes calling for watercress (watercress sandwiches and
the like). So occasionally they are called watercress-like, or flowering
watercress. They are not related botanically, and they grow in different
circumstances. (Nasturtiums would not enjoy having constantly wet roots for
instance).

I'm very confused now.

While I was down at HomeDepot, I asked several pelple from the garden
department for "nasturtium." They looked at me as if I was from Mars!
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!
