See the bee?Last year, I had planted some radish plants. They were the simplest things to grow, and I had a very good yield. Apart from crunchy radish, they also produce the most beautiful flowers. These pictures are from last year.
This years radish are still waiting to sprout. If anyone out there is a newbie to gardening, and want some easy-to-grow plants, radish is the way to go. I didn’t use the flowers in cooking last year, but I am sure they would be great as a garnish.
It’s been a while since I have participated in my favorite event. Submitting home grown radish flowers for Flower Fest.

Shilpa, glad you found your way back here : ).
Suma, I was surprised too.
Anusha, I dont remember how long they lasted. I was googling to see if I could find some info on radish flowers and all I could find was carved radish flowers. Haha.
Sandeepa, let’s add one more to that group.
Reena, I guess I was able to see the flowers because I was too lazy to pull the radishes out on time. Your mom must have never let them have flowers.

Thanks, Vini.
Gattina, you have good eyes : ) In fact, I didn’t spot the bee till I uploaded the picture.
Mathy, these flowers are from the red radish. You are growing radish ?
Manisha, I have more radish seeds sprouting for this season. Hopefully they will be as successful as last year.
Dilip, thank you.
Ari, you have a great blog. Love all your pics. Glad to have introduced you to radish flowers.
