Only the blue/purple violet flowers are safe to eat. Don't eat white or pink
violets.

Be wary of the last. Not all parts of any plant are safe for consumption; for
example, the root of the potato plant is edible but the remainder of it is
not. I believe the fruit of the tomato is safe, but the remainder of the
plant is not (I could be misremembering).

(who has this silly idea that all gardeners and period cooks would benefit
from having several herbals just lying around)
