What is the name of this yellow flower?
Question by nickisbox: What is the name of this yellow flower?
We ate a couple of times at this restaurant called Il Camino between Terni and Spoleto in Umbria. One night they gave us a little thing of flowers. It was yellow and the flowers were small and kind of poofy. I meant to ask what it was called, but forgot. It seemed like they grew sort of like baby’s breath. Any clue what it might be called?
hystoriker, i think you are on to something. these are definately flowers, and not a dish you eat. the way you described it sounds like the same thing i was given.
keep in mind the flower i am looking for is small, as in not bigger than the tip of your pinky finger. and a whole bunch grow on a branch.

I’m guessing but it was possibly courgette flowers as they are quite a delicacy in Italy. Usually they’re dipped in a light batter and quickly deep fried. Not sure what baby’s breath is.
Update: Ah, if they’re tiny, probably not what I suggested then.

Another possible answer is “nasturtiums”, a yellow or orange flower. They grow almost like a weed, very quickly, that is. They don’t have a sweet scent, but they have a beautiful flower…
the only flower i can think of, which is also yellow and a little bit poofy is taraxacum. which is eatable in salads and soups but mostly it’s leaves are tasty. try to be more specific explaining how is that flower, maybe i will remember something ells, if no, i can cheek it for u in here.
try to copy the name of the flower and cheek if u recognize it in the images of yahoo.
Nice Nasturtiums
Watercress is cultivated mainly in Southern England and can also be found near fast-flowing streams. It is available all year round and its pungent peppery flavour adds a kick to salads.
* maybe its erba iva??? that is a small small flower yellow and wight, it has a great tast, bitter-sweet and u can put it in soups and salads and mostly fix a great alpin tea?
* or…. hehehe achillea????
* what the last answer u have recived is talking about is the mimosa, but it’s not eatable.
