These taste like you might think a Rose petal tastes. So very sweet, Roses are edible too. Even Marigolds, there are many flowers one can eat. You can sprinkle them on cakes or cookies or even salads and soups. Very nice stuff. V

You forgot to mention the little roses on Wedding Cakes. LOL. I know I would have to try some of those delicious looking foofies. I'll eat about anything that doesn't have a warning label on it. Very nice post, Verena.

Oh, I love these precious little violets, and the grouping of them, is only that much more beautiful! They show up wonderfully against the black background too! I bet you make a sweet and most delicious salad with all those edibles! :) Excellent capture and presentation, Verena!
