I heard that they are edible. Have you tried eating them? They have just started to bloom here in Southern Georgian Bay.

yellowtulips,
I haven’t and know of no one who has tried eating any. It can be mildly emetic – who wants to take the chance of vomiting? But the very young leaves are used as a cooked green and the bulb-like roots boiled and eaten with butter according to my Peterson Field Guide to Edible Wild Plants.

I have never seen them. Maybe if I open my eyes and look I may find some in this area. Love the kitty’s investigation too.

Grammy,
I’m pretty sure you’re out of their range. Head north to Minnisota and you should find some.

Nothing like Crash checking out that squirrel though

Hi WiseAcre! They like your garden if they came on their own!

Tatyana,
It’s more of a case of me bringing my garden toward them. I think they rushed in to claim the border and sent a couple of scouts to check out the area I claimed.
