This year I have found a lot of yellow wildflowers growing here and maybe some have been here for years but I didn't notice them . Fernleaf Yellow False Foxglove is growing on a little bit of a wooded hillside in my neighborhood. It's actually on the opposite side of the weed patch where I've found so many other wildflowers. They are said to be never far from oaks and typically white oaks. They parasitize the roots and obtain water and nutrients from them. This plant is native to the Eastern United States and parts of Canada. In the past Native Americans did have a medicinal use for it but the only thing I've found is an emetic. In other words used to induce vomiting. If that's the case then I'd say a definite No to edible ! I wasn't able to find much information on this one and maybe there's more yet to be learned. I'm still making discoveries of what God has placed near me and I hope you'll find the time to discover God's creation near you .
