I do have a little info on edible flowers due to what my wife told me after attending a luncheon at a friends house. She was served nasturtium flowers atop of her salad and she commented that they were tasty and they made quite an attractive presentation. Not knowing that flowers were edible, I went looking for information. I will preface my comments with the statement that not all flowers are edible. Check with a poison control center before sampling any plant.

I found that flowers from bee balm, chives, daylilies, dianthus, hollyhocks, nasturtiums, pansies, roses, sunflowers, tulips and violets can be eaten and they provide an array of interesting tastes. Many food flower affection-ados prefer to grow their own tasty flowers so that they can be sure they are raised organically and do not contain any pesticide residue. Wouldn't the flowers in the picture make for an attractive dish?
