This plant with its bright orange, red, and yellow blossoms looks attractive in mixed green salads and fruit salads.
Other small, pretty flowers, such as pansies, violets, daisies, or flowers of edible herbs such as borage can be used.
Be sure to wash flowers carefully and avoid any that have been sprayed with herbicides.
Flowers vary greatly in taste from peppery to virtually tasteless and are valued more for their appearance than for their flavour.
