I got my seed from Phoenix Seeds and they came out in a variety of yellows, some gold, some lemon, some two toned. My owerwintered plants looked a little prostrate (possums perhaps...?) but are now shooting skyward, and they do have feathery foliage. But I wouldn't suggest you eat yours without a positive id, although I think there are loads of edible chrysanthemums put there. If you're curious check it out here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garland_chrysanthemum . I'm keen to try a Japanese pickle made from the petals this Summer, and the greens add an unusual savoury but floral note to our stirfries. I'll have some shungiku plants at the market in a few weeks. I'll keep you posted.....<br /> November 14, 2010 2:44 PMPaulette Whitney, Provenance Growershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04611769384551068930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4915475888623640248.post-39443289884510537902010-11-15T09:44:24.910+11:002010-11-15T09:44:24.910+11:00This comment has been removed by the author.Paulette Whitney, Provenance Growershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04611769384551068930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4915475888623640248.post-36601591710501457772010-11-15T07:00:07.394+11:002010-11-15T07:00:07.394+11:00ps although you say shungiku flowers under the pho...ps although you say shungiku flowers under the photo,the flowers in my garden are growing as a ferny kind of mat, covering the ground.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10140249815996700049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4915475888623640248.post-58209304015658073512010-11-15T06:57:33.099+11:002010-11-15T06:57:33.099+11:00Beautiful, Paulette and so true.

I have them in my garden too and,like so much in my inherited garden, I have no idea what they are.<br /><br />Persevere with the cutlery.... my 2 sons (22 and 24) are sooooooooo glad we taught them how to eat properly and now they don't look like fools when they eat in company, unlike so many lads and young ladies these days.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10140249815996700049noreply@blogger.com
