a quick bento tonight, with may’s BOMB theme in mind: two flowers made from hard boiled egg slices (i topped the yolks with yellow cheese so that they would be more consistent-looking), with sesame seed eyes, nori mouths, and gochujang cheeks. i used edamame for leaves, and the flowers are on top of rice mixed with ume powder, which is layered over kidney beans for extra protein.
behind the lettuce baran is a steamed broccoli floret, a vegetarian meatball in a paper food cup, two pea pods, a tomato and some takuwan slices, and some kiwi slices with a blackberry and a raspberry.
have you entered your flower-themed bentos in the BOMB? and have you entered my new apartment giveaway? i’m loving all of the links and ideas people have shared with me so far!

I guess it’s FLower Bento day (just got back from Susan’s blog, which posted simultaneously)! Your egg flowers are so cute! Awesome looking meatball too; yum! A cheerful way to end the week!
thanks sheri – i think the theme synch is because of BOMB – debra is so clever in putting these fun things together for everyone!
and can you believe that meatball is meatless?! was so excited to find 🙂
What cute little flowers. I really love the color of the rice!
thanks kuusou, this rice powder is great, and tasty too!
While your flowers are cute, the part of your bento that I like the most is the way you cut your kiwi. I’ve never thought to cut them that way, in slices. 😀
thanks pikko! i had no choice because one side of the kiwi was completely mushed so it wouldn’t make nice rounds… a happy accident :o)
So pretty!!! 🙂 I love the sweet flowers and how perfectly everything fits into your bento! Haha…we are on the same wavelength with the flowers! My flowers look way goofy though!
your flowers are CUTE goofy, i love them! and i love when we all do different creative takes on the same theme… so fun to see the different interpretations!
Oh my the flowers are so cute! I love this bento, looks yummy too!
thanks jenn! these were pretty easy to do, and some of my favorite foods!
Your flowers are so cheery! 🙂
thanks christie — guess i’m just excited to start the weekend 😀
The flowers are so adorable! I love everything in this box … You are so detais in everything 🙂
thanks lia… so easy to improve my details with such wonderful sources of inspiration: my bento pals’ blogs!
This is so so cute! I love the flowers’ faces and how colors match with each other!
thanks pipaw, i was happy to find a pick that matched the cheese exactly!
so cute flower, just love it.
and the pink rice, is so nice.
thanks rainny, this is one of my favorite rice powders…
I looooove the flowers! Such a simple idea, yet effective. Kidney beans is a great idea to pack under rice – I had previously used leftover veg cutouts, frozen peas, celery slices ect, but beans sounds tastier. Will need to try that out.
thanks mils, hope you try it! if you’re feeling spunky throw some hot sauce in there too!
Lovely flower bento, and I like the pink colour of the rice so much! You even have a matching flower pad for the fork! 😀
tee hee, i do keep a lot of props in “stock” – thanks for noticing my matching 🙂
Kawaiiiiii! :))
thanks gnoe!
These sweet smiling flowers seem to be gazing up at a bright benevolent sun. Happy happy Friday to you Megan–and wishing you a great weekend that may include some fun creative time in your new, larger kitchen!
thanks jenn, hope you have a sunny and happy weekend!
