Beware though that getting these same edible flowers from a florist is not a good alternative because of what is added to them in order to give them prolonged vase life and keep them pest free. Typically, some of the very same herbs you use in your kitchen produce tasty flowers that are quite palatable. Try snipping sage, bergamot, rosemary, or lavender flowers into your salads along with nasturtium, borage and chive blossoms. Or try St. John's wort, yellow potentilla or cinquefoil blossoms. Please don't experiment with flowers other than those I've mentioned or which are found in the list though.
Some flowers just taste bad but others are downright poisonous.
