Nasturtium flowers are actually edible. But I don’t really like them. They taste rather bitter.
I rarely try out edible flowers when they are served in a restaurant. I have a lovely book that features herbs and flowers in recipies. I have not tried any of the flower options partly because I don’t know where to obtain them for cooking purposes.
Why is the netting put on top of the flowers – to protect the plants from insects?
I think it is to protect from slugs and snails. I am not sure what the plant is so it could possibly be birds too.
awesome flowers my friend ! thanks for delightful glimpses
The flowers are beautiful I am so happy you enjoyed the virtual visit with me
Because we are huge fans of artichokes, Cherry, you had me there!
There are some stunning specimins in this garden which now due to my volunteering I have the opportunity to visit every week
I always had the opportunity but sometimes I needed the incentive
