Q: ESL flagged?
A: Yes.
Q: Animations?
A: No animations or displays for this mod :O, you'll need to use another mod for that.
Q: Limitations?
A: Only food or ingredients will be consumed when using the Dynamic Activation Key. Some flora actually gives you the items via scripts (Nirnroot or similar), the mod won't work with them.
Q: This xxx flora shouldn't be consumed!
A: Add the flora to the EFlora_IgnoreList so it can be ignored by the mod. Use FormList Manipulator and the file EatFromFlora_FLM.ini or similar method.
