Useful Flowers

Post all photos or prints of all flowers that are useful. Additional information in Group Details Section. Many cultures use flowers in cooking, or in salads, teas, and garnish for desserts. Creative uses: Roll spicy ones into handmade pasta dough, floral ones into homemade ice cream, or make floral simple syrup. Tips for eating flowers safely: Eat flowers you know to be consumable — if you are uncertain, consult a reference book on edible flowers and plants. Eat flowers you have grown yourself, or know are safe for consumption. Flowers from the florist or nursery: Often treated with pesticides or other chemicals.
Don't eat roadside flowers or those picked in public parks. Both may have pesticide or herbicide, or may be polluted by car exhaust.
Eat only petals. Remove pistils and stamens.
Allergies? Introduce edible flowers gradually. They may exacerbate allergies. Keep flowers fresh. Place them on moist paper towels and refrigerate in airtight container. Some will last up to 10 days. Ice water can revitalize limp flowers. Do research online and keep flowers safe and enjoyable.

Wallpaper Description:

About the same time as I photographed baby maple leaves unfurling, I also took a photo of this young flower, in the earliest stages of blooming. It has a ways to go before it goes to full bloom, but it's pretty already! :D

CollieSmile :)

PS. Unlike the barely unfurling maple leaves, I'll be able to take pictures of this golden flower in all of it's growth stages throughout the Spring and Summer. That's because it's a... baby dande1ion! Did I fool you? Doesn't it look pretty up close? :D

PPS. Many people consider dandelions to be weeds rather than flowers. There are at least some people on Desktop Nexus who won't agree with that however. That would be all the members of the Dandelion Flower group, of which I am a happy member. :)

PPPS. Dandelions can be used as wine or tea. It's leaves can be eaten cooked or raw leaves can be put into salads. :)

PPPPS. Here's the link to the baby maple leaves wallpaper I was referring to:

Also, here is a "sunny" abstract design that I made with the baby dandelion photo:
