OK. The flower seems to be daylily as perceived by the majority of responses 
to the somewhat cryptic description as opposed to crocus. To be sure, could 
the original poster describe the length of the stem, whether it had more than 
one bloom or bud to a stem and if it is blooming now (location would be 
desirable) what is the approximate season in your location. The only thing 
that even remotely resembles the flower as described, in my part of the world 
at this time (Northcentral PA), is a crocus. They are not edible. Spring 
blooming crocuses are poisonous and only 1 fall blooming species (e.g., the 
saffron crocus) is edible SFAIK.

Also, the daylily does not taste like 'lettuce' but rather its taste more 
closely resembles a mild corn flavor.
