Edible flowers

I love self-seeding plants and edible flowers....so here are 2 of the work-horses in my garden....calendula and johnny-jump-ups.

You put the seeds in the ground once, and they come up year after year...bringing color and beauty to unexpected corners of the garden.

These beauties are edibles, so I love sprinkling them on a salad or as a garnish. Very pretty.

Gladys loves eating flowers from the garden and happily munches away at johnnys and borage flowers. However with so much foxglove in bloom we had a heart to heart about poisonous plants and how she must consult with me before eating something. Foxglove is very poisonous, ditto for daphne....both of which are growing in the garden.
