The yellow flower with the raised center bit thingy that also comes in
miniatures that you see in the grocery store is a daffodil.  However,
I've got the wrong name.  I'm thinking of the orange/yellow flower with
the streaks of color down the center of the petal, saffron colored
pollen.  Tastes like fresh lettuce.  Anyone have any clue what I'm
talking about?
