Chives

We had a beautiful dinner last night - and atop the giant salad (made with 100% garden greens) lie three purple flowers that I assumed were for decoration purposes only. And although I've never understood the purpose of non-edible garnishes, I excused this particular purple trio because of its simple eloquence. BUT WAIT, all of a sudden, one of the guests popped the thing into her mouth! It's a chive...how did I not know this before? So I did the same, and was shocked at the amount of flavor that was loaded into that one little flower. Tasted like... chives! And cleared my sinuses! And looked beautiful!
