Description

It is a member of the genus Campanula , commonly known as bellflowers. The blossoms of these flowers taste like a mixture of dandelion stems and the way honeysuckle smells, but no other purple flowers growing in the Yukon Territory should be consumed as most others range from somewhat poisonous to grotesquely perilous if eaten. [3]
