Where can I find pretty edible lovers and what flowers do you suggest that are edible?
Nasturtiums, they are both lovely and edible. The leaves as well as the flowers.
Reply:Dandelions are the first ones that come to mind.





Annie C., thanks for the link. I'm working on trying to plant as many edible perennials as possible in my yard.
Reply:Nasturtiums, rose petals, violets. Just be sure they have not been sprayed with pesticides or fungicides.
Reply:ORCHIDS! They're really colourful and the petals are edible. Hmm...they're usually imported from Singapore or Thailand though. Alternatively, the hibiscus is good too, less expensive (: but again i don't know if your local florist stocks tropical flowers.





Oh and as a last resort, you acn always buy cauliFLOWER from the nearest supermarket! Sorry~ couldn't resist xD LOL
Reply:I don't know where you live, but you can usually get edible flowers are nicer markets. Ive gotten them at Whole Foods and Im pretty sure I've seen them at Publix once or twice as well. If you have Wegman's by you, that is probably your best bet, since they were rated the best supermarket in the country.
