Amazingly enough, even though the stems and leaves are mildly toxic to humans if ingested, and do cause a contact dermatitis (skin irritation), the flower petals are edible. The Culinary Cafe's Edible Flower List indicates that the petals of the carnation (genus Diathus) are safe to eat and can be added to salads, used in cooking (like soups) and used as garnish.
