Edible Flowers

I was wondering which flowers you all feed your greeks and how often?
I was reading the flowers can upset their digestive system like fruit if given 'too often'.

I found some organic pansies at the local Byerly's upscale grocery store.

Thank you, again!Shy

RE: Edible Flowers

Pansies, flowers and the plant, are just fine Colleen. As long as it's part of a varied diet you won't have any trouble feeding flowers. Petunias are also good flowers to feed.

RE: Edible Flowers

Thank you both.Big Grin

I have a dumb followup question...
With the hosta and the roses, are they able to eat all the different varieties?
My dad has at least 6 varieties of hosta and over 15 different types of roses at his house and the leaf structure and blooms can be quite diverse.

HAPPY NEW YEARBig Grin
