TOPIC: Edible Flowers?

reviewer icon

From: FrenchBunny

On Wednesday, May 14, 2008

quote I am looking to buy some edible flowers for decorations on my salad plates but I don't know where to buy them. Supermarkets here don't have any of those things, so as usual I would have to order them online. Any one with an idea of where I could purchase them? Greatly appreciated.
