Drying Rosebuds & Violets

Gather tiny unsprayed rosebuds and violets that have no dew or water on them. Spread on a tray and put in a dry sunny spot indoors; for example, in front of a window. Leave until completely dried, turning them over now and then, and opening out any petals that may have curled in. Violets will be ready in a matter of days, but rosebuds will need longer.
