Thank you Thomas! I've never heard about candied violets, I should probably research them. As far as using flowers in cooking goes, I've only tried roses and lavender, I got both off of Amazon, the descriptions just said they were edible, but I am not sure if they differ from regular ones. I know there are so called tea-roses, they smell delicious and make a tasty tea and jam, I have not seen them here, but it could be one that you have, the fragrant one!
