[michelle06]

Hello, it's dan yoda on my wife's account because mines being stupid with pics!! Had to try get them on some how because not everyday do you go out taking photos of flowers lol sooo, here goes, I found all these wild flowers at the back of we're we live and I've always wondered, are they edible?

1 & 2 Oleander: definitely toxic. do not feed.

4 mustard

6 thistle

8 Cistus species... common name is Rockrose. mediterranean drought tolerant species

9 people on here have been referring to this as sow thistle...sonchus species. at any rate, this one is edible.

So 4, 6, 8 and 9 all good? What about 3, 5, 7?

I'm not commenting on the edibility of 4,6,8: you'll need to check tortoisetable.org or wait for someone on here that is more knowledgable re:edibility...I just provided the IDs is all

so, 1&2 are poisonous, and 9 is edible, the rest are all maybes, i think mustard is edible, but some brassicaceae are best fed in small amounts or not at all: someone else will have to input on that.

my opinion on the others:

3 is some kind of asteraceae. uncertain edibility

5 don't know, clarkia maybe? uncertain edibility

7 don't know.


sorry: i'm better at ID than I am at determining edibility: I've only had my greek for less than a year and although I know all the weeds in my yard, I haven't looked into edibility of things I don't have or feed.
