Vegetable Flowers

For those master gardeners, please excuse this novice. I'm just in awe of my little garden and everyday is a revelation. This morning when I had my garden meditation - yes, that's what I call it - it dawned on me that vegetables have flowers! My eggplant's flower has yellow petals with a purple center. Squash has gorgeous blossoms that open into huge yellow flowers. I should have picked those blossoms and cooked them; maybe next time. Yellow flowers sprout along my trailing cucumber vine. Even my banana and Thai hot peppers and basil have petite white flowers.

I truly can see now why gardening is so educational. You see the nature of plants for food spring forth, bit by bit. Glorious!!
