Took a quick trip to a lake today and came across another edible flower....

It's a Wild Tiger Lily and you can eat the bulb of the plant either raw or cooked, it has the taste of wild rice but has to be carefully dug up as it will snap off and remain in the ground if you just pull the stem !

There were some other edibles in the lake as well.....

Nice pictures pitdog. I think that swampwarden is about as handy an EDC as you can get.
 
good pics man, your allways havin fun, you want till my ladie gets out here were gonna show you up! :D
 
The creekbank outside my house here is covered with those lillies and they and the elderberry are blooming now too.
 
Pitdog, pitdog, pitdog..........................and I had such great hope for you! :o

So I guess that would be Lilium columbianum? :D

Apparently the seeds and flowers are also edible. In fact, the flowers are supposed to be delicious, at least so says Edible and Medicinal Plants of the Rockies, Linda Kershaw, Lone Pine Publishing, 2000, ISBN# 1-55105-229-6, page 110

Hey, Tony's got crabs,..........er,........crayfish, I guess. :(

Hey I didn't know that about the seeds and flowers Doc, thanks !
I have only eaten the bulb once before because they are quite rare where I usually hike so I don't like digging them up. Where I was yesterday though, they were everywhere you looked !

Different strokes for different folks I guess. When I was living in the south I did call them crawfish, crawdads, etc. but now I am back north and I say it the other way.:)
 
Great. Thanks a lot Tony. Now I'm having a pregnant girl strength craving for a crawfish boil. I love those things so much. Man that is some good grubbin!
 
Mudbugs are really good cooked right. If the person cookin em don't know how tho they ain't worth a dang.
