I assume they can grow flowers with no problem.

I’d grow artichokes, which is a flower, and tell the city to stuff it...............

Know of any other ‘flowers’ that are edible?.............

Broccoli, cauliflower. You can eat pea and bean flowers, you can eat squash flowers. Chive flowers.

Also some ornamental flowers are edible - roses, dianthus, nasturtium, borage.

Now that couple has an unsightly yard with those plastic covered pots and stakes. But if they are allowed to grow fig and banana trees, roses and morning glories in those pots, let them have their pole beans and tomatoes.

Dandelions for wine and salads!

Many parts of the pine tree are edible.

I’ve grown and eaten the following:

Nasturtium
Calendula
Bachelor Button
Roses (not sprayed, of course!)
Borage (Tastes like cucumber!)
Violets (Makes a great liquor!)
Bean Blossoms (don’t eat them all; no beans, then!)
Allium (chive blossoms)
Bee Balm (makes a great tea)
Elderberry (also, tea)
Cilantro (gets a white flower; most people eat the leaves)
Dill
Dandelion (makes a great wine!)
Lavender
Squash Blossoms (usually from Zucchini)

Dandelions are edible - flower and leaves.
