Edible Petals

Spring is finally here, and I've been spending every free moment planting colorful new additions in my yard. This year I thought I'd try to grow some edible flowers in the half wine barrel on my deck. I started poking around online and found almost too much information, but a lot of inspiration as well. I knew about nasturtiums and mustard blooms, but daisies and gladiolus? Turns out there are lots of flowers that offer more than a pretty face. I've included some of my finds after the jump.

The above image was found at Fresh Origins, which has a wonderful roundup of cocktails decorated with edible flowers. Yum! And be sure to take a peek at Jenny Ryan's vanilla-and-lemon cupcakes adorned with wild flowers, and Shawn Connally's awesome Foraging For Salad post! What are some of your favorite things to do with edible petals?
