April 30, 2012 Southeastern, New Hampshire I found Bluebead Lily (Yellow Clintonia) last year on July 28, 2011 when the plant had inedible blue berry fruit. The plant has 2-3 large lily leaves that clasp the base. From what I have read, the leaves can be eaten raw or cooked for 10 minutes when they are very young and unfurled. After the leaves have unfurled, the taste is no longer pleasant. I missed the harvesting this year!
