FLORAL EDIBLES LIST WITH PHOTO

Pink Star Flower

Versatile in flavor and visually stunning, edible flowers add beauty and grace to any plate. 

This list is a work in progress. I will also be adding original photos for each variety, as time permits.

      Good Day Meshelle, Thank you for visiting At Home with Rebecka.

      Sadly, I don't know and can't find the botanical name for Chocolate Bellflower. I've searched for seeds to grow them but can't find the chocolate variatel. I believe they are Campanula species-CAMPANULACEÆ; Bellflower Family but can only find photos of them at my resource for purchasing edible flowers.

      You can contact Fresh Origins at http://www.freshorigins.com. They may be able to answer your question better than I. If you find the answer, please let me know!

      Best Regards, Rebecka Evans
