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.
