It's like Alton Brown's suggestion for cumin and carrots because they're both in family Apiaceae, and thus would have more secondary compounds in common and make something like chords of flavor (multiple notes in common, you see). I'm working on a chart of spices and flavors using this theory. I use the method currently to arrange my spice rack which works out nicely (substitutions and variations are one jar away). If anyone wants to help drop me a line. It’s interesting, this is one of the few of these from phylogenetically related species, both in family Rosaceae.

I was thinking something more seasonal of a TGRWT is violet + leeks. Now I just need to figure out the execution looks like.... This combination sounds delightful, refreshing, and exotic.
