Default Cucumber flowers

Is it okay to give Orko a cucumber flower? My partner is growing cucumber and they have lots of flowers. I tried looking to see if they can eat courgette flowers but did not find any trustworthy sites.

You are so sweet to post to say that. Thank you. I think it is a tricky one to ask.

I know pumpkin flowers are edible and cucumbers are in the same family. But I don't know for certain.

The wiki on here lists safe and unsafe veg etc - cucumber flowers aren’t on there. I don’t know either and can’t find anything on Google. They are probably ok but I wouldn’t risk it without more info. They are edible for humans though!

Thank you Serendipity. That was very kind of you to look that up for me. I will not feed them. Haha, I am sure my partner will eat them.
