Capucine, or Nasturtium is a rather neglected flower in the garden and not much being used in the kitchen. If grown without pesticide, the flowers add an exotic taste and texture to the garden salad (yes, this flower is edible). It has a sweet and peppery flovour, a surprising taste from a flower - and the crushed dried seeds has a taste akin to black pepper...I last saw it growing 'wild' in Cameron Highlands in a watercress farm. Next time, I'll pick some for the table...
