Thanks! The lady who gave me the plant did warn about that but I forgot to ask her if that therefore means the flowers are also inedible.
Okay! I just looked quickly at some articles and it would appear that one can in fact eat every part of it. Only the seeds should be avoided due to side-effects similar to LSD. Apparently there are indigenous tribes who use them ritualistically. No better way than this to get in touch with the local plant spirits!
heheh YES! :D
