There are many, many new flowers in my garden right now.
Of course, they’re all edible, or lead to edible things. Parsley (next year), cucumbers, jalapeno peppers, tomatillos, beans. Exactly what I want my flowers to be.
Flowers and even fruit are only the beginning. In the seed lies the life and the future.

That tomatillo flower is pretty cool … it looks almost like a potato flower. We also have parsley that’s going to seed. Who knew a pathetic little parsley plant would put out such massive flowers?

All are nice, but I like the jalapeno pepper and bean the best as far as the flowers go. The cuc and tomatillo would be my favorite eating though!

Meg–it does look like a potato flower, doesn’t it? I love the shape of the petals. My parsley plants are sprawling all over my garden–it’s ridiculous.
Aiyana, I agree as far as looks (though I do love the star shape of the tomatillo flower). I’m waiting for beans and cucumbers most myself. And of course a bunch of other things around the garden that aren’t in flower yet…

Beautiful flowers, the bean flowers are especially pretty.
