Though considered a weed, dandelions are edible, just you don't want to eat too many. After soaking them in salt water, you just use a mixture of flour,corn meal and seasonings, like when you deep fry mushrooms and fry them..
And of course clovers are edible. I also take dandelion and clovers and juice them with carrots, makes a great energy drink for spring cleaning.
Another flower that I recently found was edible, is the flowers on the red bud tree.. You would really have to collect many to get a serving, so I just pick some as I go by and they taste like a sweet lettuce..I think they would be great on salads, I may try it this year..

I don't know about violets. Actually it would be nice if a herbalist would respond. Because like I said about the dandelions, some flowers, though they are edible, can be dangerous if you eat too many, especially if they have medical tendencies..
Though I also wondered about roses. The Turkish Delight that they had in the Narnia movie? It calls for rose water and I wondered how that was made, with roses? petals or leaves? I would like to know that..

I had no idea that a marigold would be edible...
my son is really up on such topics and he has given me various blossoms to try -
I think one is called nesturcians which had a bit of a peppery flavor
he has also given me a lily blossom I think it was from a day lily, probably stella d'ora??
Squash blossoms are tasty as well.
I am sure there are countless others -

hAVE YOU TRIED THE peppery flavour of nasturtiums/leaves/flowers in a salad? I also make the best tasting capers out of nasturtium seeds. So much cheaper and just as good.
