Chive Buds and Blossoms
One of the things I have loved about gardening has been discovering hidden gems in the garden. Chive buds are one of them. I had read that most herb flowers were edible and these looked so interesting that I checked online to find that indeed the tight closed buds and the opened blossoms are not only beautiful but delicious! They are short lived, making their presence in spring so that we can add their beauty and subtle, sweet onion flavor to our dishes.
