Thanks gang and will certainly keep looking till i find their true name..Dandilion ey??..
They were given to me by a Cypriot lady down Brisvages(Brisbain) way we had visisted..Spotted them in her vegy patch and just had to ask what they were and glad i did too as they are very tasty to eat the way greeks normally cook n eat Horta, In a salad and Epiphanista you will mostly be glad to hear that they are tops used for Doulmadis in the place of grape leaves if you are running short of the Grape Leave or can mix n match..Am very anxious to keep seed .
So far they just keep on growing and giving more leaf as you take away leaf for cooking..
They only need about five to ten minutes in the pot to cook also..
Flavour is excellent and will never ever need to go hiking in the woods looking for "Rathikka" or their companions again lol..
Soon as they give off seed i will definetly give a hollar here and anyone wanting some i will only be too glad to send..
Cheers
