Flowers inspire me greatly — and certain flowers make me think about certain foods.
And on Friday’s I share those flowers and foods.
“Friday Flowers” isn’t typically about adding flowers to what I’m cooking. Flowers often just make me think of different foods I want to eat or cook. For example Lavender makes me think of grilled meat (I know: a little bizarre), and Hydrangeas bring my mind to cupcakes with super rich, beautiful buttercream!
I don’t go out looking for inspiration. Flowers just grab me as I pass by them.
Friday Flowers might not happen every week, but expect it fairly often, because flowers do capture my imagination. What flowers inspire you?

Very nice gallery!
Beautiful gallery! I used to add nasturtium to my salads. And my favorite is the ranunculus.
