I had missed it some how that is doing well,good chance of a flower next year.
P. can't imagain how you would dry them as the petals fall off.
Tell us please.

They are quite easy to dry Bj. My sister's favorite flower and she dries some every year. Not sure what she will do this year as she is in a new house and garden. The link here is basically what she does.
