Edible Flowers As diverse as my culinary adventures may seem, they share a common thread - the pursuit of delicious beauty. The next time you pass your flower garden reconsider it as something tasty and nutritious as well as beautiful. Float a daylily in a punch bowl. Sprinkle violas over an arugula salad. Of course not all flowers are edible, and yes, some are even poisonous. So only eat what you’re certain is edible.
