Thank you, Yaelle. I've never been good at finding very many edibles along roadsides, and I always liked the thrill of discovery for even simple things, learned it from my dad and my aunt.

I've seen pictures of the beautiful poppies in CA (lived in Petaluma for 2 years back in the 60's). One picture was along the coast and had an enormous expanse of rplling hills with some kind of blue flowers. I don't know if they were planted or what, but it looked like heaven on earth to me.

Lupine? Very pretty tall blue/purple vertical flowers like lavender.
