Common Edible Flowers

I've been thinking about what I can plant in the Kitchen Garden wondering which flowers might brighten it up a bit.

I already have nasturtiums, lavender and violets available elsewhere in my yard and am looking to add to those.

Here are some ideas:
Marigold: edible flowers (soups, salads)
and leaves (treat as spinach.)
Chammomile: I have some of these already
though not yet in flower. Tastes faintly like
apple; good for a calming tea.
Sunflower.
Carnations.
Snap Dragons.

This list was inspired by a spirit of food exploration.

Kindest Wishes,
AJ
