Broccoli, artichokes, and capers are all technically flower buds, albeit immature forms.

flowers are diuretics, and sweet woodruff (Galium odoratum) can have blood-thinning effects.

[1] Toxic flowers are easily mistaken for edible varieties, and unrelated safe and unsafe species may share a common name.

Wilted and faded flowers and the unopened buds of most species can be unpleasant and often bitter.
