flowers at home by picking firm, half-
bloomed flowers while they are cool
and dry. If the flower is in full bloom,
the petals may fall off. Lay flowers
out, ensuring they do not overlap. Dry
from eight to ten hours at 35°C or until
flowers are brittle. Place the dry flowers
in an air-tight container with three to
four drops of your chosen perfumed oil.
After four weeks, shake well or add a
few more drops of fragrant oil.
