Summer is the time for salads, iced drinks and lots of cakes and deserts. All of these can be made even more special with edible Flowers.<\/p>\n

A colourful mixed salad looks great, but add blue Borage flowers, orange Calendula<\/a> petals and a scattering of pink Rose petals, and you have a stunning dish.<\/p>\n

Why not colour cordinate, halved red cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion with red Monada flowers and Red rose petals, dress with a balsamic dressing, magic!<\/p>\n

Or, Sungold toms, orange sweet peppers with orange Calendula petals garnished with purple Violets or Violas would look amazing.<\/p>\n

A more spicy salad or vegetable dish can be enhanced with a mix of herb flowers, the combinations are endless.<\/p>\n

Small flowers and petals look wonderful on top of cup cakes and flower petals can be add into homemade fruit jellies and used as a garnish too.<\/p>\n

Party drinks are given added punch with ice cubes containing a small flower. Blue Borage flowers are a favorite, but any edible flower can be used.<\/p>\n

There are so many ways edible flowers can be used, it just takes a like imagination.<\/p>\n
