They are gorgeous! So gentile and soft on the skin.
When to pick it?
Any time from May to August is good for gathering lovely camomile and drying it for next year.
Camomile loves the sun, so best time to pick it is when the sun is high in the sky. Then it has most curative properties, which we wont to preserve and smells the best.
How?
Pick only flowers of camomile, useing your hands. Don't pick those with lices. Look for them on the bootom of flowers, or on the stems. If you see some other bugs, that are running away as soon as you picke it, don't worry they will leave (unless there's too many of them).
Drying
You can dry it outside or inside, just keep it away from the sun.
Put your camomile on a clean paper or a cloth. Make sure that flowers have enough space between them, so that they can dry faster. If you don't have much room put them together but in a thin layer.
It is better to dry herbs faster to preserve more curative stuff.
Where to put dry camomile?
Use a paper bag or a glass jar to put camomile in.
Leave it in a dark and dry place.
