Flowers are a beautiful addition to any cheese board. When sourcing them, make sure they’re sold as “edible”—not because you’re necessarily going to eat them, but so they’re food safe. Regular, store-bought flowers often have chemicals and pesticides on them, which is not advised next to food you consume. Camomile and lavender are popular choices for boards. They are small which is nice so that they don’t crowd the food, but they’re also very fragrant and beautiful (and we all know we eat with our eyes and nose before we even taste our food!). If any of your guests ask if they can eat the flowers (technically yes, since you bought edible ones) you might warn them that both chamomile and lavender are very bitter. You wouldn’t want your guest to ruin their palate for the day, just because they’re curious. Check out this adorable post using edible flowers from Melissa’s Produce. Where I buy edible flowers: My local farmers market (I always ask the vendor if they are food safe). Whole Foods often has some by the herb section. Certain CSA boxes might have an option to add them. Gourmet Sweet Botanicals out of San Diego, CA has a great selection and ships.
