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."

"Sweet Violets" is my film on the commercial violet growing industry when Rhinebeck, NY was the "Violet Capitol of the World".

While researching what these were, the first result was immediately a website teaching how to kill them to favor a spotless lawn.. I hate how humans' first response to just about everything in nature is "kill it." For fugly ass lawns at that. :AngeryCat:

Signs of spring in odd corners of the yard today! Little purple violets scattered in shady corners, and the very first dandelion of the season!

We’re moving to a house soon. Our back yard has violets!

The weather really battered the violets and the tulip magnolias, one so low to the ground, the other so high in the sky... but although ragged, they still are beautiful

I've a soft spot for wild violas. The Common Dog Violet (Viola riviniana) growing in my friend's lawn. Unfortunately, as the sun kept hiding behind clouds, and it was windy, most of the pics I took were out of focus. Still, I was happy with these #wildflowerhour #dogviolets #violets #kent #england

Look at this stunning carpet of violets we found by the roadside!
(I jumped over a crash barrier to admire them 😅)

My African violets are blooming. My miniature violets seem to bloom continuously under the conditions I keep them in. #bloomscrolling #violets #indoorplants

I came across this solitary violet yesterday whilst walking around my local cemetery 😍 An early dog-violet, maybe? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viola_reichenbachiana?wprov=sfla1 #violets #wildflowers #Kent #England #UK

Not many days left of smelling the violets.
