Drying calendula
The calendula plant is in full swing now, so I’m taking a few flowers every day to dry for salves. Leaving a good number each day for the bees and insects

Mutant calendula
I didn’t snip a few heads so they go to seed. But one appears to have mutated, and sprouted multiple new heads 😁😬 the plant that just keeps on giving.

Daisies
After a walk and a forage of freshly opened daisies, we have a new salve on the horizon. Wasn’t expecting to find anything so a nice surprise. Was just reading yesterday how good daisies are for the skin, so I will look forward to that one being ready in a couple of weeks 😁
