Flor do Guarujá (Guarujá Flower) (Turneraceae subulata)

Every year we spend a week or two in a little town on the beach called Imbituba. Found out that this flowering shrub with yellow flowers. And discovered that they are edible and delicious. Unfortunately it cannot be planted on my land because they can not stand frosts.

Yes Marguerite, The taste is soft sweet, different from the Tropaeolum majus, used in the salads which is slightly sour.
