These are just two of about a hundred squash blossoms in the garden.  The bees love them.  So do I!!!

 

These are butternut squash blossoms, and they are about 8 inches across.  No, really!!!  

 

The blossoms are edible, and delicious stuffed with rice and vegetables.  It takes a bit of work to harvest, stuff, and cook them, but well worth the effort.  They are delicate and beautiful.  Another perk from having your own garden.  

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
