Primroses - Hose-in-Hose



Here is a photo of one of my favorite flowers from my garden, blooming now. Given to me by my friend Hilda, (an Englishwoman transplanted to New Hampshire, US). They are double primroses, called Hose-in-Hose, because each flower has a flower growing out of the center.
I just found out that primroses are edible; haven't eaten them yet, though. Too pretty.

Everything in this salad, except for the sunflower seeds, came from my garden and was harvested on the summer solstice. The fermented rhubarb came from the garden and was made 3 weeks ago.

A large handful of cilantro
A few walking onion scallions
Gem marigold flowers
A few mint leaves
Fermented rhubarb (water, rhubarb, salt, onions)
Sunflower seeds

Soak sunflower seeds
Chop lettuce, scallions, cilantro, mint and put in bowl
Drain sunflower seeds
