Guest guest Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Dear Folks: Are the oleander flowers useful for making the soup? Usually the flowers of any herb etc. are even more concentrated than the leaves would be. (Or the roots on some plants.) I have thousands of beautiful red oleander flowers all along my wall and I would like to use them in place of the leaves to make my soup. What do you think? Thank you, Nancy E.V.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 As far as I know, the flowers are fine to use. If you used ONLY flowers, you might want to start to with lower amounts at first. Anybody in here that has used flowers, feel free to join in - I haven't yet. One thing I would avoid would be the seed pods - simply because seeds often have lower concentrations of some of the active compounds. At least that was the case back in college . . . . :- ) oleander soup , " N.
