| Daylily seed pods, I think they taste better than the green beans they are said to taste like, I have not tried the flowers yet. |

| great! i already have violas growing in my garden. never knew i could eat them! =) |

| Feijoa flowers are said to be lovely. I've tried raw fuchsia flowers and I wouldn't bother unless you can process them first as they were all bitter. |

| The flowers from Chive Plants are terrific in salads. Just break up the flower and sprinkle over the top of the salad. |

| Day Lilly flowers are very good. They have a buttery taste and do very well in salads. |

| Careful of the Day Lilly cultivars. I have heard that not all of them have retained the edibility of the original naturalized ones in the wild. |
