Melissa's fava beans are flowering. I'll need a liver and bottle of chianti to go with them.

All joking aside, it's an interesting looking flower.

Those flowers are really striking. but after your joke they also look a little menacing! 😄

The whole plant is edible. The flowers and tops are particularly tasty in a salad.

I'm sure we'll enjoy them when the beans are done. My wife wants to harvest seeds for next year as well.

@That_One_Guy

Wow, very pretty. Spring is obviously far more advanced in your part of the world than where I am currently.

Wishing you lots of future nutrition and deliciousness to follow the beauty.

We're in Eastern Missouri, false spring got us once but it's slowly staying above 50 degrees at night.
