My wife has a patch of Bee Balm which I'm planning to camp out at with the right gear on a day with the right light; aka Bergamot this is the scent of Earl Gray tea and I learned the hard way that if I mixed the essential oil with sweet orange the industrial cleaner smell would make me evacuate my office

My friends and I growing up would suck the nectar out of #lilacs. They were delicious and edible! (But save some for the bees.)
30+ Lilac Recipes (Yes, Lilacs Are Edible!)
By Ashley Adamant
Updated Apr 19, 2026"Edible lilacs (Syringa vulgaris) are one of the most delightful surprises of the spring kitchen, and yes, you really can eat them. Between the fragrant flowers and the short bloom window, lilacs have become one of my favorite things to preserve and cook with each May on our Vermont homestead."
[...]
"Lilacs start the edible flower season around here, but our homestead has delicious blooms to enjoy all summer long. We’re foraging dandelions for #dandelion flower recipes at the same time as the lilacs, then wild #violets come on for violet flower recipes, and #elderflowers show up a few weeks later for elderflower recipes. The old perennial patch of #BeeBalm by the kitchen door is edible and medicinal too, so the homestead kitchen stays fragrant with one bloom or another from May right through August."
