The deer had eaten most of the flowers in my friend Allenda’s hillside gardens, but this gardenia and a few mums had escaped a place in their salad table.  More flowerless photos will follow in a subsequent post.

April asked if gardenias are edible.  Yes, in fact they are said to have a sweet taste when eaten raw.  For a recipe for crystallized gardenia petals, go here:

Marigolds, lobelia and cockscomb fill in around weathered wood in my friend Patty’s back yard. Thanks to a big wind that blew down her back fence, patio and part of her roof, her gorgeous yard is fully viewable from the major street that runs by the back of her house.

Flor or Faux?

Some of these lovely blooms are flowers and some aren’t.  Can you tell the difference?
