A collection of edible flowers for the edible Flowers Handpicked Design Challenge. It was fun researching and painting all the edible flowers.

Pickled Cherry Blossoms can be used as garnish or in sweet or savory dishes. The delicate blossoms and leaves are both edible.

.. nothing nicer than to be able to eat a flower bouquet ,

Edible flowers aren't only for critters! Dandelion greens are excellent sautéed with some parmesan, pansies make a lovely garnish and who doesn't like snacking on a handful of sunflower seeds!? Just another way to expand your palate and add some color to your plate!

A delicious herbal tea made of hibiscus petals!

Aromatic black tea with rose buds. Make sure you use quality black tea, like Assam or even English Breakfast will be fine, add 2 rose buds per cup to the tea pot, let it be for 3 minutes and enjoy a comforting cup of tea.

I had so much fun with this illustration! Both the research and the process really brought me joy. Also, my 3-year-old daughter and I just planted pansies in our garden over the weekend. We are looking forward to trying them in a salad very soon! :)
