Today, on Flower Friday, we are going to show you the Nastur-eaty-flowers that are in our...what's that Mama?? OH, sorry...they are Nasturtium Flowers!
Look behind me...they are growing all over the neighbor's fence!!
Mama says that in some restaurants around town you can find these flowers in salads, or used to help make the plates look pretty! That's why I call them Eaty-Flowers...because Mama eaties them!
They are also very pretty!!
Mama said it is safe for us to eaty them too, but they are veggie-tables, and that means they are good for me. Dory taught me to always hold out for things that aren't good for me, so I told Mama I'd pass!
Jakey is a different story though...BOL!!
Mama said she would see if she could find some at the Farmer's Market for Jakey to try. We find lots of peemail in these flowers, and for some reason, Mama doesn't think Jakey should eat them....
Mama loves the pretty red veins that run along the top petals...and how the vines grow through cracks in the fence!
They also grow all along the top of the fence!
Thanks so much for joining us for Flower Friday this week!
We hope everyone has a pawsome Labor Day Weekend!!!
Hop
aboard and show us the flowers blooming in your corner of the world (If you don't see the link here, please click HERE to go to our Hoppity page)!!

My Gramma would love those flowers as she loves those colors! I'm so excited it is my birthday month! Yay for birthdays!
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful, Mommy grew some from seeds one year and she LOVED them. They didn't come back though and we haven't seen anymore seeds. Mommy will have to remember to look for them again. And Mommy eats them too.
ReplyDeletethey are beautiful and I did not know they are eatie flowers... I don't remember ever seeing them before.. also did not know they grow on a fence.
ReplyDeleteI am not a good gardener, but am tempted to plant some of those in the spring. :)
ReplyDeleteVery clever thinking of Mama! Love the flowers though. I wouldn't mind some in my garden, but the roses we have are pretty as well.

ReplyDeleteWe wouldn't mind some escapee flowers like that. We just get vines that come on our side of the fence and try to strangle our plants.

ReplyDeleteOH my those blooms are just amazin'!!! I loves the colors too.
I hopes you guys aren't gettin' too smoked out up there. I hopes those fires are contained soon...this heat is a MONSTER! It's almost 8:30 and it's still 93 degrees! sigh

Those sure are pretty flowers. Let us know what they taste like if you give them a try.
