FLORAL fodder
Did you know that water lilies are edible? ME EITHER. I tripped across Edible Wild Plants of Pennsylvania and Neighboring States by Richard J. & Mary Lee Medve from Penn State Press (©1990).

I can’t find any reference for their flavor, but I’m guessing floral and grassy like most edible flowers & greens.
