Hi, my friend at work has a three year old who will not eat. We did provide mugwort/ chamomile bitters and it has been helping! The one exception to this rule of not eating seems to be flowers...and he is not very discriminate. So please help us with a lovely list of edible flowers!

Together is our favorite place to be

Nasturtium, Alyssum, Rose, Black Locust, Redbud.

Most flowers will not provide much in the way of calories, though ,so it's probably not a long-term solution to the issue?

Growing on my small acre in SW USA; Fruit/Nut trees w/ annuals, Chickens, lamb, pigs; rabbits and in-laws onto property soon.
Long term goal - chairmaker, luthier, and stay-at-home farm dad. Check out my music! https://www.youtube.com/@Dustyandtheroadrunners
