Yes, I did. You know that a few days ago, I bought pansy flowers. I bought them in golden yellow, white and violet.
You know what? This flower is edible. I have just found it out when I was reading some garden plants in my main writing site. Pansy petals are edible as well as the stamen, pistil, and sepals.
Pansy flowers can be added to my salad and my cakes as well. Well, good for decoration. Did you know that?
Now, I want to buy pansy seeds so I can plant them and harvest the flowers for my salad. I want to be sure that what I am eating has no chemicals.
Do you know other flowers which are edible?
Thanks for reading. Have a lovely Friday or weekend everyone. I am happy to know about the pansy

Those look wonderful. I think there are some other edible flowers too. Yet I would have to research a bit. Yet before using these flowers, perhaps you need them to be washed thoroughly.

I've eaten dandelion flowers. That's a beautiful picture.

@thelme55 Yes, I ate them with dandelion greens. The buds were my favorite. They were delicious.

I think I heard that hibiscus flower is also good to be included in salads. Maybe there should be a study about flowers that are edible.

@thelme55 so it is true that hibiscus is not only edible but also palatable.

I have tried red hibiscus in adding into my veggie salad and it was delicious. I have also made them into a refreshing hibiscus tea. Thanks @Alexandoy

I like pansies. The middle of the flower looks like a face staring at you.

Out of curiosity, I will eat pansy @NJChicaa. I have eaten hibiscus flowers added to my veggie salad when I was in the Philippines. I have made hibiscus tea as well and it was refreshing. So, I will try pansy. I wonder if I will like it. Thank you.
