entirely edible!!! delightfully peppery, really yummy & pretty in salads. i’ve seen people pickle the seeds like capers. the flowers have a little horn thing on the back, and if you pinch off the tiniest bit from the very very end you can suck out all the nectar like some huge & hulking hummingbird <3
also they’re just really pretty!!!!! very vibrant & varied - anywhere from the palest yellow to brightest orange to the darkest red. really bizarrely shaped flowers, especially when you’re looking at them in 3 dimensions. maybe the most art nouveau plant of them all!!!
