I do have a few left, so I have just stuck to mostly the cactus flowers that have bloomed over the summer, and saved the last few plants for a dry period. I think I'm in that now. I may get a couple more cactus flowers, but then most all of them rest during the fall and winter.<BR/>I Aiyanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04525758484165324330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5073767210146118906.post-25949627913009966202008-09-12T04:13:00.000-03:002008-09-12T04:13:00.000-03:00What a cool flower.

They are not edible, as they contain a saponin poison called aesculin. I think if you boil them in many changes of water they become edible, but buying the cultivated sort is a lot less trouble. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
