I've had a small type of Orchid that is edible! I've help plan a Luncheon for Lancaster's New American Citizens for the past 22 years. At the Eden Resort the chef always used this orchad as a garnish for whatever Chicken Dish he had served!! You should see the looks on people's faces when you tell them it's O.K. to eat the garnish!! It has an unusual taste, Not in a bad way, But, In a good way!! I don't usually go around eating flowers!! Have FUN this summer...
