TIPS FOR PICKING ELDERFLOWERS
Best gathered June—July, in the early morning
Look for sprays of creamy-white flowers with a distinctive summery scent
Choose flowers that have fully blossomed, but aren`t yet touched by brown
Don`t pick flowers that smell sickly
Don`t take too many from one source
Always remember to ask permission from the witch who inhabits the elder tree. Or you may be cursed.
If the tree seems grumpy, you probably shouldn`t take her flowers
