This August I cut flowers to dry in my shed. Some of the plants I used were Peony seed heads, Penstemon seeds heads, Lavender, Joe Pye Weed and Panicum. I tied them into small bundles and hung them up side down in my shed. The shed is a dry dark place. It is perfect for drying flowers. This is the first time I tried drying Joe Pye Weed. The trick is to cut it before the flowers open.
I used a white pumpkin to make my fall dried arrangement. I also added fresh Lavender and a small amount of fresh Golden Chamaecyparis. I am hosting a bridal shower this weekend and few dried arrangements will add an elegant touch.
