GOOGLE EDIBLE WILD FOOD-DO NOT JUST NIBBLE ON THINGS!!

SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THINGS ARE ALSO THE MOST DEADLY.

Here are some good edibles:

Nasturtium flowers, buds
purslane is very yummy

I love cattail, violets are yummy...google before eating lol

This is a great database of plants, tells you what is edible and what it's medicinal properties are: [www.pfaf.org]

There are loads of leaves you can eat, but some very posinous so you got to be careful. (Just because the fruit is edible doesn't mean the leaves are, a good example is tomatoes, the leaves of the tomato plant are posinous.)

Ps, you were right first time with flora. Fauna is animals.
