Your prediction was right… I love this post, Connie! I’m always discovering new things from you.

I always knew some flowers were edible, but never have I thought that dandelions/”daisy lions” were! Best of all, they cost nearly nothing ’cause it’s in everyone’s yards. Unless, you know, we’ve eaten them all. lol. ;p Gotta tell my mom about putting them in our eggs like you did. I’ve been obsessed with eating eggs lately (okay, maybe not really but I’ve been eating them 1x/day everyday for the past two weeks, haha).

Take care, looking forward to your next post!

Brings back delicious memories, doesn’t it, Sheila? You may never look again at daisylions in the same way! Have fun with your guests; they will have fun with daisylions and brag all next week about the gourmet meal they had at Sheila’s house!

Oh, my. I now can hardly wait for our dandelions plants to prodeuce daisylion heads. As a child my grandmother cooked the leaves, but I thought they were bitter then, but of course I turned up my nose to her spinach, too. But now I love spinach any way one fixes it, and I can’t wait to put some daisylion leaves in my tossed salad for guests tomorrow eve.
Daisylion stems were my favorite toy as a child come summer. My two friends, Venla, Gladys, and I wourld make chains that would go entirely around the block of 300 Tilden and Blaine Streets hin Holdrege, Nebr.

Yes, indeed! You can cut down on your food bill and ramp up your nutrition for next to nothing! How’s THAT for good news in today’s economy?

As for the little purple flowers…stay tuned. There is something fun to do with those, too.

If I ever learn how to work the video and the audio I can share lots of info and you will hear the delight in my voice!

Thanks for taking the time to comment, Anita!
