Do you know of an edible flower that is orange?

Question

My friend had a salad with an orange flower and she cannot seem to find out what it is.

Answer 1

Marigold
Daylily
Nasturtium
Calendula
Squash (zucch or any other)

All are edible. The easiest way to find out what they look like is a google images search with just the flower name.

I would bet it's Nasturtium. They're the ones that non-gardeners would eat most easily, they grow easily, they wash up easily, and I've seen them in salads at restaurants.

Daylilies aren't usually used in salads. They're often dried and used as the "golden needles" in your hot and sour soup. I collect them from my garden for that purpose.

Squash are HUGE. They're more often battered and fried. If in salad, they'd be sliced, I think.

Calendula and marigold are usually used as petals sprinkled over the top, unless they're decorative. I can't imagine eating one of those whole!

Answer 2
