And even an experienced gal like me had no idea that you could eat rose of Sharon flowers. They don't actually grow well here in Texas, but I have family on the east coast where they grow beautifully. I'll be passing on this information. I've not had the pleasure of trying nutria yet. We do get them in some TX waterways, but they're much more of a problem in neighboring bayou states. I confess that their teeth put me off a little, lol! Thanks for another great post!
