Sorry, folks, but I don't think those plants are edible.  They're
Helichrysum italicum.  The curry leaf, or Murraya koenigii, is edible and
much used in Indian  and Sri Lankan cooking.  It's a relative of citrus
trees.  That's according to the Herb Society of America's Encyclopedia of
Herbs.  The Helichrysum is used for ornament and aroma only.  Margaret
