Edible Flowers

Have you ever eaten an edible flower?

Are you the first to give new things a try?

Or a bit wary, letting someone else be the guinea pig?

This past spring I threw some Nasturtium seeds in the flower garden. To be honest at the time I didn't know that they are edible.

Luckily all my friends did!

OK I was a bit wary to give them a gobble.

So all summer I enjoyed the bright blooms and the cool lily pad looking leaves.

  With these last blooms of the season, I thought I would celebrate with a cupcake.

 And the edible flowers.

 Let's be honest.....the flowers are pretty,

 but it's the sugary frosting we are all dreaming about!!!!

And that is what I ate, the frosting. I tried the flower but it just tasted like a flower!!! The frosting tasted like frosting, can you blame me? Actually I shared half with the hubby, but only because he was standing there waiting for me to eat the flower, which he didn't ask to share by the way. Not like the cupcake which he said, now we are sharing that, right?

Thank you for stopping by. Have a great day, Lori
