Ingredients:
-pick your flowers: 1 Cup
Pansy petals~ The largest of the viola-type flowers, all of which you can eat (the littlest are Johnny-jump-ups). Faint lettucelike taste; velvety texture.

be bitter.
Calendula petals~ Usually orange or yellow, with a daisylike appearance; mildly tangy.
Bachelor's Buttons~ Spiky-looking but soft; can be blue, purple, pink, rose, or white. Cucumberish flavor and a fun, frilly texture.
