Fresh Edible Flowers Black and White Photos
This journal entry features black and white macro lens photographs of fresh edible flowers. I found a container of these in my local supermarket. Not my usual organic ‘found’ subject matter. Nonetheless, they ended up in my shopping trolly. A photography experiment for later on in my day.
What Types of Flowers are Edible?
With a little online research, I identified the flowers I had purchased.
And here’s a list of the assorted edible flowers:
- Dianthus
- Violas
- Nasturtium
- Calendula
- Pansy
I loved this Gardening Australia video ‘Edible Flowers”. Costa Georgiadis presents some flowers that not only look good – but, also they taste good!
Recommended Care Instructions
The instructions mentioned that to preserve freshness they must be kept refrigerated at between 4-6c temperature. Washing the flowers wasn’t recommended as it may bruise the petals. However, the instructions suggested that you could brush them gently.
Following the instructions on the packaging, the flowers should last between 5 and 21 days. Most commonly 10 days throughout the year. Some varieties such as Calendula will last 21 days in ideal conditions.
