On a recent trip to the flower markets with some of my students we went exploring over in the fruit and vege market looking for inspiration strolling through the vast array of herbaceous delights we discovered these tiny little boxes filled to the brim of the sweetest edible blooms. The colours of each of these tiny blooms beamed out at me and with such delight that we couldn't pass them by. We bought a few little boxes and took them back to class with us to create the most gorgeous little flower garlands, reminiscent of garlands used for weddings in India.
These marigolds are the colour of india. Even in the poorest of villages somehow you always come across baskets of flower blooms, it is amazing how the touch of a fragrance and colour can transport us instantly back to wonderful memories.
The best thing about these little beauties are that they are totally organic and can be added to desserts and salads to add that little touch of something more...
