Lilacs

Hi Friends,

Today, we are exploring the uses of the Lilac Flowers.

Lilacs grow in   areas where there is good sun and plenty of water.
Lilacs come in many colors, ranging from deep purple to lilac purple, white, bluish-purple, although lilac purple-pink is the classic color.

Dry lilac like herbs, upside down in a bunch or on a basket or screen. Keep the bunches together for ease in drying and harvesting.

Air-Drying Basics

• Air-drying is a basic, simple method of preserving lilac flowers, although pink blooms tend to fade. Hang bunches of lilac blooms upside down in a dark, warm and dry area. Raised screens or drying racks also work well for air-drying. This method can take three weeks or more.
