Edible Flowers

[FaaFaa]

I just recieved my new AeroGarden in the mail today. It came w/ a pack of edible flowers. They are edible to us, but what about the beardies? Can they eat any flower labeled as edible?

I've got Dianthus, Calendula, Marigold, Yellow Snapdragons, Gypsophila, and Twinkle Phlox (I know the Phlox is OK according to the Nutrition Chart)

Thanks!

OK thanks Diane, that's what I thought. I just didn't know if there were others that were not on the list. OK so out of my 6 all I have that is edible is the Phlox. I'm sure not going to eat any flowers! It just seems weird to me.

I was contemplating putting a small plant that Thomas (The Bearded Dragon) - would be able to eat, thanks for that list of what to choose.
