Nasturtiums, squash blossoms, kale, artichokes. Peas are not the blossom, but the seeds.

I work with Alzheimer residents and as a result we are only allowed to have edible flowers (just in case...) Here is a list of what we are allowed in our unit and what they taste like:
Anise hyssop - sweet, like licorice
Apple Blossom - delicate floral
Arugula - nutty, spicy
Basil - varies by breed
Bee balm - lemony, minty
Begonia - crisp, sour, lemony
Calendula - spicy, tangy, peppery
Carnation - spicy, peppery
Chrysanthemum - bitter
Daisy - tangy, leafy
Dianthus (pinks) - clove-like
Fuchsia - acidic
Geranium - varies by breed
Hollyhock - bland
Impatiens - bland
Lavender - floral
Marigold - peppery
Orchid - crisp, soft
Pansy - sweet to tart
Petunia - leafy
Primrose - sweet to bland
Rose - sweet, aromatic
Snapdragon - bland to bitter
Sunflower - leafy
Tulip - crisp, cucumber-like
Violet - sweet, nectar-like
These are all regular flowers that are edible, not flowers that come from fruit or vegitable but maybe the list will help.

This is not a fruit or veggie flower but the Dandalions are edible. Fix them like you would wild mushrooms. Soak in salt water overnight then rinse well.... Then flour and fry them. Yummy... Salt them to taste...One great thing about them is they are a whole lot easier to find then wild mushrooms and they kinda have the same flavor

as others have suggested all types of squash blossoms may be eaten. i think asparagus is actually a stalk, not a flower. dandelions flowers make a good wine and are great on salads, if picked in the spring.rose hips (the bottom part of a rose flower) are a great source of vitamin C, although they might be considered a seed pod.

You can eat the blooms from a Zucchini plant. Dip in egg wash. roll in flower and fry in hot oil until golden brown. Very Tasty!

Day lily flower buds can be cooked (steamed) like green beans or pea pods. We have tons of wild common orange liles and I occasionally serve them up with dinner. They steam quite quickly.
