We used to grow them outside our
house on the coast of British Columbia
(actually on a salt water inlet).
One time my brother and I decoracted our
dad's birthday cake with them.
When we were lighting the candles a
couple of spiders, who had hitched a ride
on the flowers, decided it would be a good
time to abandon ship!
Dad was a good sport and ate the cake
anyway ;-)
