Moss Roses

An old fashioned flower that was popular in my Grandmother's days, the Moss Rose, has resurged and is very popular this summer.  Here are some reasons you might want to plant some of these gems in your garden:  They're cheap (.99 each at Home Depot), beautiful, take very little care and are edible.  With a mushroom like texture and a lemony taste they are used in stir fry.  They can also be eaten raw and are very high in vitamin C.

Oh, and did I mention, they are beautiful.  They range in color from all shades of pink to orange and yellow.
