Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
This is a chive plant that I plucked from a pot of them that I have in my garden. Apparently you can eat the flower of this chive but looking very closely at this specimen I may just pass on that.

I don't know how to recognize mushrooms. I won't take the risk to taste them. So, I'm content with taking them in photography.

Glistening white, translucent beauties which fights off their rivals with their own fungicide. They are associated with beech trees and are edible – but only once the off-putting mucus is washed off.

“Althaea officinalis, known by its common name marshmallow (or marsh mallow), is a flowering plant in the mallow family that grows in wet, marshy environments.” The marshmallows you roast over the camp fire used to contain the sap from this plant and it is how the sweet confection got its name. Today there is no mallow sap used in marshmallows. All parts of the plant are edible. Some parts are used as herbal remedies for ulcers and respiratory ailments. The root contains a slimy sap that humans aren’t able to digest. When eaten, it passes through the digestive system and leaves behind a soothing coating, which aids in digestive problems. Even today the plant is used for a wide variety of medical ailments. The Romans considered the flowers a delicacy. The plant can grow three to five feet tall and once established reseeds itself every year.

These strange mushrooms were found at the bottom of the garden and are definitely not edible.

It's the time of year here in the UK when Brambles go from being vicious parts of nature that are responsible for scratched arms and legs up and down the UK to delicious fruit bearing plants that can be forgiven as their fruit is collected ready for blackberry pies or freezing for winter. Loved by most creatures and most humans too the blackberry is nature at it's most edible and it's free for all to enjoy :-)

A European red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris, vörös mókus) spotted me but did not escape. Photo taken in a nearby botanical garden.

A sign of Spring are the Cherry Blossom tree blooming. The pedals are edible and the leaves from the tree are used in many traditional Japanese sweets and tea. A person can be arrested for picking petals on some Federal properties.
Highbush Cranberry (Viburnum trilobum). Not really a cranberry but a wild and and edible variety of the small tree Viburnam family. The sour, orangey red berries are high in Vitamin C and taste best after a several hard frosts & freezes when they become a little sweeter. (This is one of several trees whose berries are too sour for birds to eat until they've gone through a lengthy freeze cycle - which means they ensure that birds have a food source late in the Winter when other sources are scarce.) On the human side of the equation, Highbush Cranberries can be made into a great jam.

Luxury version of a bun served during lent. This one is like a sweet croissant with cream and almond paste filling.
I don't think these particular flowers are actually edible but I thought they were awfully sweet. We did, however, get some pansy flowers included in our mixed baby greens from the farmer's market and they were wonderfully spicy and a bit peppery. Happy Wednesday everyone (we're half way to Friday!).
p.s. Thanks to all who left a tip or suggestion on my last post regarding lenses and senior photo shoots - much, much appreciated! :-)

An enjoyable Edible Dormouse monitoring session a few years ago. The babies would happily sit in an ungloved hand. I wouldn't recommend it with an adult though!
I've seen red squirrels eat foliage before, but I don't recall them eating flowers before. This individual was demolishing blueberry flowers as it just couldn't wait for the tasty berries to form and ripen. LOL. Humans and other foragers won't miss the relative few it eats as there are tens of thousands of blueberries bushes (likely Vaccinium angustifolium) in the immediate area.
Of course, a nicely fattened red squirrel would make a tasty treat for other critters that make their home in the area.
