Hi can anyone suggest some good edible flowers I can attempt to grow to add variety to my salad bowl this summer?
Thanks

Caulie flowers before anybody else says it.

 :D  ;D good one! I should have seen that coming  ;)

Nasturtium - lovely and peppery my fav
Borage
Rose petals

English (Pot) Marigolds...
Joy Larkom has a whole section on them in the "Salad Garden" book.
;D

Squashes

Nasturtiums- both the flowers and leaves.  I took a salad decorated with the flowers to a women's meeting last year, and nobody had heard you could eat them. And nobody did! :-[
But I think they're great and add so much color. 

day lilies  ;D

dandelion, very easy to grow and always in plenty supply ;)

very tasty flower and leaves mixed into a salad.......honest

rocket flowers taste of Hazelnut

and the seeds - make a good substitute for capers

rose petals, violas, violets, hollyhocks, monarda, calendula  :o carnations (supposed to make good vodka as well) , coughette flowers,  chrysanths, catmint, lavender, fuchsia, sweetwilliams, woodruff........

Oh! I forgot the roots can be dried then roasted, it makes an acceptable coffee substitute
