1. Nice.....but you know....I want to eat it....lol....

[alfredo]

2. I wonder how the flowers taste?

[Richard D]

3. I haven't eaten the flowers

But I've eaten plenty of the paddles and fruit.
Funny, but in Mexico the fruit is called Tuna. On my first trip there, prior to learning Spanish, I was aghast at the idea of a Tuna drink.

4. I'd have to drink a lot of Mescal first to drink a tuna cocktail.

I took my Yashinon out to the arboretum just now. Got a bunch of images to play with.

5. A drink of mescal should precede any foray into the unknown

But an Agua de Tuna is one of the utterly most delicious of beverages.

6. I will have to try to find it locally.
