| Yes, the flowers are edible but as with most vegetables, they are less tough when young. |

| Thanks. I often use flowers in salads and while I was reading a lot about the edible plant no one mentioned the flowers. I presume like most morning glories the seeds are...toxic, |

| No problem. Always better to be safe than sorry. Do you have a favorite recipe or two you'd like to share? |

| Is this the plant that might be called "Kan-kung"? My wife is Indonesian and wants me to grow this for her. She brought me home a bunch from the Asian market. I looked at it and, to me, it appeared to be an Ipomia. She said that at home (in Java), it was a nearly an aquatic. Is there another common name and, is there anywhere to buy some seed? Thanks! |

| >She said that at home (in Java), it was a nearly an aquatic This is correct. It is sometimes sold in the states as a pond plant. In southern states it is considered an invasive weed because, for exampe, it has taken over the swamps of Florida. Malay Names: Ubi keladi, Ubi keladek, Ketela rambat (Java), Ubi jalar (Indonesia). |
