Nasturtium officinale

You find watercress in cold moving water --- springs, spring branches, and creeks. Here it's growing in water flowing from the spring at Hodgson Mill. It is a native plant. It has a peppery taste. People use it in salads and to garnish other foods.

Spirodela polyrhiza

This is the kind of duckweed found growing in the Bryant watershed. These tiny plants were floating in the water of an old oxbow slough of the Bryant. You find it year round in slow-moving water like ponds, and the sluggish edges of streams. It's a good food for wildlife.
