I've never been fond of these but the ones in the pic were more intensely
orange than most I've seen so I thought that was slightly interesting. (They're not mine, by the way.) I just learned the other day that they're edible. Hmmm. Wonder what they taste like. Ice cream? -- Pat Durkin |

Good with olive oil and balsamic vinigar. They have been a favorite of mine to see growing. |

Anyhow, I like 'em. Add about as much as you would radish, etc. HTH wolf k. |
