Do you have what it takes to snatch the 'Food Meister' title? (Warning: this game may cause a period of procrastination!)
↑ => Louis Armstrong's voice is now stuck in my head.
Anyway, clues? Are those flowers of a vegetable?
Reply to this Not flowers from a vegetable.
- Flowers from a tree.
Reply to this I’m sure that the flowers come from a syzygium tree commonly known as lilly pilly down here in Oz. We have one in our garden and every time it bears fruit, lots of colorful birds (such as rainbow lorikeets) flock in our yard which is simply amazing.
There are lots of different types or species of syzygium of course.
And if the game is now becoming more competitive and gearing for more specific answers, then my hunch is …. clove (
syzygium aromaticum).
Reply to this P.S Other synonyms -
Eugenia caryophyllata/aromatica. The dried flower buds are used as
spice.

Reply to this Cloves is RIGHT! You guys are good!
Look closely at the buds of those flowers and imagine them brown and dried.
Now you know why I needed to keep you all in the dark about the name of those spice documentaries 😊

Reply to this Hi Tham - Welcome to Travelblog
To follow a Travelblogger, click the "Recommend" button. This button appears on both blog entries and on the bloggers profile page (which you can access by clicking the link attached to their name). This will ensure that future posts by that blogger appear in your Control Panel. This, as well as other options like rating photos, become available once your account gets updated to 'blogger' status. Right now it is 'New' because you have yet to post a blog entry, but once that occurs a moderator will review your account and make the appropriate adjustments. In the meantime, you can receive email updates from bloggers about new entries using the "Subscribe" button.
To start a new forum thread, look for the yellow "Post New Topic" button at the top of each individual forum page. Questions about how to use and navigate Travelblog, for instance, can be found and posted in the "TravelBlog Support" forum (which is where this topic will be moved shortly).
Edit: Speaking of branching this thread - will another mod go ahead and do that? I'm having access issues this morning. Thanks!

Reply to this Yep,
Saffron Crocus or
Crocus Sativus . The most precious and expensive spice in the world !
The red stigmas or filaments (saffron) are the most priced part of the flower and are used as coloring agent and flavoring.
Reply to this Thank you Stephanie and Andras. There is still no a "Recommend" button under the "Option", probably bacause I haven't had any post yet. :-)
Reply to this Continuing the flower theme...

Reply to this Echinops or Globe thistle ?

Reply to this Yes, chives!
Obviously Allium, of course - a member of the onion family commonly used as an herb and a very popular backyard/kitchen plant in N. America. You can eat the flowers if you want (they can make a nice addition to a tossed salad) but it is generally the leaves that are cut and minced.
An absolute essential for an American "baked potato with the works" - sour cream, cheddar cheese, bacon and chives.
