Nasturtium

Tropaeolum majus

It came from the Andes and filled gardens and vegetable plots with orange, yellow and red flowers. Its Spanish name, capuchina, is usually explained by the shape of its flower, which resembles a small hood.

Its round, coin-like leaves never get wet: water rolls off in shining drops. It climbs or spills over pots, and its leaves and flowers are eaten in salads.

It smells and tastes like watercress: peppery, green and fresh.
