I really enjoy edible flowers and blooms on my summer salads. They’re also a great addition to desserts, and make a great garnish for any dish. Not all flowers are edible, so make sure you check before eating.
Here is a list some of my favorite Spring and Summer edible flowers and blooms:

Calendula
Nasturtiums
Violets
Violas
Chamomile
Chives
Cilantro (Coriander)
Dill
Honeysuckle
Lilac
Pansies
Scented Geraniums
Squash
Safflower
Mint
Lavender
Dandelions

There are others, but these are the edible blooms I’m familiar with, and have enjoyed myself a time or two. My favorites are nasturtiums, and violets.
Do you have any favorite edible flowers, or recipes for a favorite flower that includes edible blooms?
