I honestly just love cute boys. Boys that blush when you call them beautiful, boys that are into cheesy romantic stuff like receiving kisses on the forehead, or when you hold their hand. Boys that love to be held..

I love cute boys.

Dandelions - How to Identify  

Flowers are sweetest when picked young.  They have a sweet, honey-like flavor.  Mature flowers are bitter.  Dandelion buds are tastier than the flowers: best to pick these when they are very close to the ground, tightly bunched in the center, and about the size of a small gumball.  Good raw or steamed.  Also made into wine. Young leaves taste good steamed, or tossed in salads.  Magick Meanings - increase psychic ability, calling spirits.

Daylilies - How to Identify

Slightly sweet with a mild vegetable flavor, like sweet lettuce or melon.  Their flavor is a combination of asparagus and zucchini. Some people think that different colored blossoms have different flavors.  To use the surprisingly sweet petals in desserts, cut them away from the bitter white base of the flower.   Magick Meanings - forgetting worries, chastity, faith, wisdom, Holy Trinity, chivalry, royalty, fertility NOTE: Many Lilies contain alkaloids and are NOT edible.  Day Lilies may act as a diuretic or laxative; eat in moderation.

Also known as Wild Carrot and Bishop’s Lace.  It is the original carrot, from which modern cultivars were developed, and it is edible with a light carrot flavor.  The flowers are small and white, and bloom in a lacy, flat-topped cluster.   Magick Meanings - dainty, luck, purity NOTE: The problem is, it is closely related to, and looks almost exactly like another wild plant, Wild or Poison Hemlock, which often grows profusely in similar habitats, and is said to be the most poisonous plant native to the United States.  The best way to differentiate between the two plants is to remember that Queen Anne’s Lace has a hairy stem, while the stems of Wild Hemlock are smooth and hairless and hollow with purple spots.

Flavors depend on type, color, and soil conditions.  Flavor reminiscent of strawberries and green apples.

Tulip Petals - How to Identify

Flavor varies from tulip to tulip, but generally the petals taste like sweet lettuce, fresh baby peas, or a cucumber-like texture and flavor.

Violets - How to Identify

Sweet, perfumed flavor. I like to eat the tender leaves and flowers in salads.  I also use the flowers to beautifully embellish desserts and iced drinks.  Freeze them in punches to delight children and adults alike. Heart-shaped leaves are edible, and tasty when cooked like spinach. Magick Meanings - faithfulness, happiness, love, virtue, modesty, loving, watchfulness
