| Hemerocallis (day lily) 黃花菜 |
This family of lily is very common here,
grows well without much looking after, it will spread easily with the underground
bulbs, there are many different colours and number of petals.
I only learned from studying internet
vegetable catalogue that the flower bud is actually edible, and a popular dish
in Asia.
Sure last year I ordered and planted the
bulb of the edible variety and now I can start to harvest the buds.

I do not have a lot of expectation from it
in the beginning, but what a surprise. There is a pleasant texture and a mild
sweet taste, actually a good finger food, and a pretty one, for pre-dinner
drinks.

Blanch them in water, the buds will
soften and open up slightly.
