After picking, they are easy to keep fresh and easy to dry and dehydrate. Most flowers and plants are in a wilted state in the afternoon and are not suitable for collection. When picking, you can choose flowers that are just beginning to bloom or fully open. The leaves picked are generally required to be fresh and green, but sometimes mature dark green leaves are also required. The collected flowers and plants should be processed immediately or placed in a cool place to keep them fresh. Such as globe amaranth, straw daisy, limonium, gypsophila, dandelion, reed, and foxtail grass.
