Regenbogen:
Thank you, Dina.
Bellis perennis (daisy): I use them as herbs or for tea (they are supposed to be healthy).
We always make butter mixed with herbs and garlic for barbecue. I put in daisies. Not really for the taste but for the look.
My daughter had to do a presentation about daisies a few years ago. And I said, she should take something with her, like for example daisy butter to put on bread for the class, so they can see you can really eat them.
We always secretly ate daisies or other flowers as kids, but to know they have always been actually edible (which I knew as a kid, because I did not feel sick or so, lol), gave me joy and so I sometimes put them in the butter.
There is almost forgotten knowledge there and I intended to bring it in the open again. For example the medical use of daisies.

Regenbogen:
!!!!! Double post !!!!

We decided to postpone the barbecue, because yesterday it's been raining the whole day. Instead we do it today. It's mothers' day and my mother is well again. So she didn't say no to barbecue at noon. Later there will be cake and coffee.
My dad will stay at home enjoy the quiet (LOL) and sleep a lot.
We will have some leftover for him.

Dina:
Happy mothers' day!!! (for you and your mom)  :) :) :)
I hope bbq was amazing
Here Mother's day is the third Sunday of October.

I did not know daisies were edible but I should not be surprised, I know many Asteraceae are. I remember eat some of them as a child while playing the "love me-love me not" thing but I mostly just nibble a little, because I thought I was going to be sick. That aside, I would have never thought in adding it to a butter. Did you use the petals, the leaves?

Regenbogen:
I used the petals, the flower part. The white and the yellow. And I cut them in small pieces. The stems annoy me in the butter ;). But the whole flower is edible, even the roots, I've read.
Some part, I think the stems, but I'm not sure, is supposed to be good as tea, when you have oedema.
But I think you have to drink several cups of tea a day to see an effect.
I also collect stinging nettle leaves for that purpose.

Dina:
Yes, stinging nettle tea is moderately common here. Thanks for the tip about the butter, I may try it one day. Sounds fun
Chamomile tea is of course very common, and we had lots of those flowers here. That is why I said I should not be surprised about eating daisies, but the thing is I had never heard of a daisy tea before. And much less daisy butter. I may try a chamomile butter one day too, for curiosity.
