CHIVE FLOWERS ARE EDIBLE

Chive flowers are not only pretty to look at, they can be eaten in salads, pollinators love them, the chives look lovely as a garden border, the leaves can be eaten raw or used in cooking, and the flowers are good to photograph.  Here are some chive flower images which I took at various times.
