these little lavender-colored wildflowers are dotting our roadsides this week. i am waiting to catch jean-luc next door to find out what their name is. he’ll know. i will probably also find out about several related wildflowers, and which ones are edible and which are not, and possibly even that a very nice tisane or liqueur can be made from them. it will be a very enjoyable half an hour.
roadside wildflowers: scabiosa maritime
autignac, france
Hello Mary-Jo,
these are Scabiosa maritime & are sadly not edible (though I agree they look like chive flowers) I’m off to send you a link with a list of edible flowers & non edible flowers from the garrigue. ox
