Explanation

Wisteria is a beautiful purple flowering vine, but all parts of the plant contain toxic glycosides called wistarin and lectin, which can cause severe poisoning if ingested. Lavender, lilac, and violet are all edible or non-toxic flowers commonly used in salads and culinary applications.
