Yes, my best friend told me that as she grew up in the countryside and did things like eating flowers (for fun 😂) and later I searched for the info and got the confirmation that they are edible.
I am glad that everything is getting better, take care of yourself and your husband. And of your plants 😉
Here is a short video with the flowers and how they can be eaten. Maybe I should demonstrate too, when these buds bloom jajaja
