May flowers: pretty and edible

Happy Wordless Wednesday and Thursday 13. I've also just discovered What I Love Wednesday, and I'm linking there.  You can too.  :-)  If you have your own WW post, be sure to sign in with the linkie below.  I have beautiful and edible May flowers to share with you today.  I hope these photographs give you inspiration for your own culinary delights.  I find it impossible to choose a favorite.  Can you?
