Edible flowers

[SaraJH]

Hi all,

Before I poison the family and any guests we may have this summer, please can you knowledgeable peeps confirm that calendula, Busy Lizzie and cornflower are all edible?

Thanks.

The only ones of those I eat are calendula which I love on a salad. The others may (or may not) be but couldn't say one way or another. Nasturtiums are nice too as are borage flowers.

Thanks Alison, I too like nasturtiums as edibles. I'll do some more googling on the rest, evidence uncovered so far is inconclusive!
