Question
Caitlin –
Are the berries and flowers edible too, or just the leaves? How do you use it to promote breast milk?

Hi Caitlyn, The flowers and seed pods of Fame Flower are very stemmy–nobody would want to eat them I don’t think. The leaves are fat, cooling and inviting looking. Herbalists give them fresh to mothers to promote breast milk. Richo
