    We were just in Vietnam and could not get enough of an edible flower called either Da Lai Huong or Hoa Thien Ly (Fragrant Cynanthe flower). I would love to find this in Chicago and attempt to recreate some of our favorite dishes. A Vietnamese coworker was confident I would be able to purchase around Argyle or in Chinatown. Unfortunately I've been to multiple markets around Argyle as well as in Chinatown and I've not had any luck.

    I understand it is seasonal to summer and my time is limited...can anyone help?

    I am far from an expert, but I go to the Argyle markets several times a year and have never seen this.

    If it's seasonal to summer, you might still be a little early (think of the timing of corn & tomatoes).
