text: Actually, it's not of much use - two people who work together on a database and then cite it on WP - citing yourself is not WP:V. Personal experience is also not acceptable - WP:NOR Much as I disagree with this in some cases - I would like very much here to cite myself as I also have wide experience growing and eating a lot of this - but that's just not acceptable here. Additionally, the jury is out still on Comfrey, & this should fall in the category of if you don't need to, don't. And not all alkaloids are created equal - to compare those in tomatoes, potatoes & comfrey like that is not good science. The Tulip cite I have handy is "Barash, Cathy Wilkinson: Edible Flowers; from garden to palate. " - there are others but not at the tip of my tongue (plus pers experience but we already discussed that 
. I'm thinking the reason for the anti-tulip frenzy may be WW2 - lots of Dutch ate Tulips during the war & got quite ill - but that was a. bulbs and b. flowers form questionable sources (dumps etc); but it still has people queasy (e.g. my folks). Numerous entries in the database are also a bit fuzzy - if the cite says 'edible' on the plant, you cannot simply assume that this applies to the flower; I'm concerned about the hazards here of someone taking this list verbatim & at face value & doing themselves an injury - what each of these rightly needs is a specific cite, and possibly a health warning on the page.Bridesmill 00:18, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

text: Interesting.  I knew that tulip petals were edible, having read somewhere they taste like cucumber, and that the bulbs had been eaten by the Dutch during the war.  Cites and warnings would seem to be appropriate for individual items and the list as a whole.  I like the list though!  Are there any in particular that make it into most "edible flower" packages that can be found with herbs in grocery stores? 72.226.64.201 (talk) 18:39, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Just a note on formatting: I don't want to go over the whole list at the moment, but it'd probably be best to italicize the scientific names (with  ), and only link each flower once with the name where the article is rather than with both common and sci names (though redlinking both names is good for catching new articles).

message: This seems to be a very incomplete list of edible flowers.  I wonder why more well known edible flowers such as various squash/zucchini blossoms, clover, and rose petals have not been included.  I found another wikipedia page titled Edible Flowers which seems to cover the same subject matter while offering a more complete list of edible flowers (though it could still be improved as well).  I think it would be appropriate to transfer any pertinant information from this list over to the "Edible Flowers" page and redirect this article to that one.  Does anyone agree?

message: cant find it but patato flower shouldnt be eaten unfortunatelly its name constantly slips off my mind, cant recall it. What is the persil, onion, sweet (green)paprika, cucumber, hot onions category because it seems there are not in organic plants and not refferenced in ready-eatible flowers category (edittable flowers)? Are you kind to allow more-than-two lines for category aand also some recepies`?LordWikipedia-188.25.109.153 (talk) 19:00, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: patato

message: Quoting our article [Tropaeolum]], "All parts of T. majus are edible. The flower has most often been consumed, making for an especially ornamental salad ingredient; it has a slightly peppery taste reminiscent of watercress, and is also used in stir fry. The flowers contain about 130 milligrams (2.0 gr) vitamin C per 100 grams (3.5 oz),[15] about the same amount as is contained in parsley.[16] The unripe seed pods can be harvested and dropped into spiced vinegar to produce a condiment and garnish, sometimes used in place of capers.[17]"
