Strawberry Fair

1 oz orange leaves (cut)
1 oz clover flowers
1 oz orange petals
2 oz hibiscus flowers (whole)
2 oz rose hips (cut)
1 oz calamus root (cut)
1 oz tonka beans (cut)
1 oz life everlasting
30 drops strawberry oil
25 drops rose geranium oil
10 drops labdanum oil

Mix all ingredients together and store in a glass jar with a tightly fitting lid. Allow the potpourri to blend for two weeks before using.

This is a very pretty mixture of flowers and leaves. The bright yellow of the life everlasting and the dark reds of the rose hips and the hibiscus make a striking contrast with the other ingredients. The fragrance is deliciously strawberry.
