it belongs to a family that contains a number of mildly toxic species. It is therefore wise to exercise some caution. The flowers are probably perfectly safe to eat.

aconite

The whole plant is highly toxic, acting especially on the nerve centres. At first it stimulates the central and peripheral nervous system and then paralyzes it. Other symptoms of poisoning include a burning sensation on the tongue, vomiting, stomach pain and diarrhoea. Simple skin contact with the plant has caused numbness in some people

Pseudofumaria lutea - Yellow Corydalis - Yellow corydalis has few pests. It is toxic to horses, causing mouth sores, gingivitis, colic and sudden death if enough is ingested, so should not be allowed to invade pastures.
