Ask in an oriental grocery store. You might be able to locate specific 
varieties for cooking or raw in salads. The Chinese include
daylilly blooms as a staple in their diet. You can find them dried and 
packaged, inexpensive. Other delights include garlic stems
with blooms for wok cookery. I've begun frequenting a local Korean 
grocer. They offer Kim Chee by the gallon (w/o MSG) and
really great sliced dried mushrooms. Those who have  not discovered 
oriental wok cookery really should try it. Meals eaten with
chopsticks always taste better.

Also try speciality seed catalogs. Johnny's probably has a variety for 
eating.
