Part of the plant?

Might be that only PART of the plant is toxic. Like tomato plants. The fruit is edible, but the plant itself is not. And some berries/fruits edible only when ripe.

If you really research, many of the plants which we consume parts of, the other parts may have toxic qualities. Could be a rash, upset tummy or downright fatal.

regarding edible flowers

do not eat flowers classified as "edible" unless you grow them or purchase them from a source that grows them just for eating. Commercial growers often use chemicals that are not approved for consumption.
