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).

Prim rose was eaten in period. 
 
> Aoife, dying for an excuse to buy more plants

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