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

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!
