Hello,

Both of these should be edible for chucks----

The purple spikes are Liatris --of some kind. While not poisonous---it has been used as a medicinal plant in years back. So it can have some effect on a body but most likely a positive one---- I would try it in a heart beat!

The light colored flowers are some type of Gaura- very edible--- close kin to Calylophus and Mexican Evening Primrose. Dont forget to offer leaves too!

Regards

David

I will! I usually grab a handful, stem, leaves and flower, when I pick. The only other edible one out there now is a large daisy looking flower that is probably in the dandelion family, and they are getting tired of it!

Thanks!

Here are more. They look like morning glories, but I know they aren't based on the foliage. Are these edible?
