I agree. Pretty flower, but not edible though!

I wanted to say sorry I didn't bother to write the species name since it is only one; now I'm curious - never heard of this variety apoyama?

And I know it won't replace the aubergine, but you can revenge and made the roots into a salad  :)

Thanks Maggi, this is one website I don't look too much at :-\ so it's a cultivar group not species variety.
