[edit] Photograph of a single plant needed

The main article could be improved if a closeup of a single plant were provided. Instead, the main article seems to dwell on Garden cress as a crop, and the pictures are all taken from a distance of 3 or 4 feet. I need to know what a single Garden cress looks like, not just at the time of germination, but after a couple months of growing. For one thing, this would help me understand why people think Garden cress is related to Water cress. Are they making their judgments based on how it tastes at the dinner table? (So far as I can tell, Garden cress looks a lot like a single 3-Leaf clover, before it flowers.)198.177.27.25 (talk) 22:39, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Confusion with Nasturium

I've editted the discription of the plant. There seems to be confusion between the garden plant commonly known as nasturgium and the common garden cress. Nasturium produces yellow/orange/red flowers and caperlike berries. I doubt if the Indian "medicine" connection is actually correct, I couldn't find any references to it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tuna tinner (talk • contribs) 00:27, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
