My dh and I once passed a gourmet fruit & veg store and saw pansies in display trays for sale. Owner said yes, pansies are edible. Claimed only those specially grown, not those in our yard. My dh tried anyway and said they were ok.

Ralli - Stinging Nettles make a nice cooked greens. They also have a medicinal use as a tea but can't remember what for. In survival situtations, palmetto hearts are great. Actually most (if not all) palm hearts are very good - unfortunately the palm dies but I'd rather keep myself (or mine) alive if I have to.

Nettles tea/infusion is a great, all-around nourishing tonic for your whole body. Kinda looks and tastes like swamp water at first, but you get used to it, and it's yummy with peppermint tea added. :)
