Edible Flowers.....

Bet you didn't know you had some salad makings right in your garden!

A few edible flowers:

apple blossoms (I have an apple tree...yay!)
basil blossoms
calendula (aka marigolds, I thought so!)
carnations
chrysanthemums
lavender
cornflower (aka bachelor button)
dandelion (I did know that....)
hibiscus!

I am going to add some of these to our new garden!

You can find the full list here.

  1. I thought Hibiscus was poisonous! I have some in my yard, and I'm pretty sure that I read they are poisonous.

    Interesting list, KT!

  2. Hibiscus are poisonous to PETS but not people. I found numerous sites & articles about it on google.

  3. I like the idea BUT... my dog goes in the same little patch of yard I have next to my mobile home... ugh... don't even want to go there!

  4. Annabel is now inspired to dig up the backyard and plant things. ;-)

    I can't wait to see how your garden grows. How fun!!
