Honeysuckle's florescence is from March to May. When it comes to Honeysuckle's florescence, we'd better pick it in the morning and in the morning. At this time, honeysuckle hasn't opened yet, and it retains a strong smell. Due to the sufficient nutrients, the color will be better, and the value of honeysuckle in all aspects will be higher. If it's honeysuckle as a commodity, it's best to pick it on a sunny morning when the dew on the honeysuckle has dried
When we pick honeysuckle, we usually pick the buds of honeysuckle. When we pick honeysuckle, we can observe whether the buds are relatively large, the color of the flowers is just right or close to the blue and white color, and the buds are clean. This kind of bud is the one with very good quality. The flower buds to be picked should be mature and full, without young buds or leaves.
The gold and silver flower buds we picked should be placed in the basket made of strips or bamboo. Pay attention not to pile up the flower buds, but to spread them out and place them for no more than four hours. The quality of the honeysuckle will decline after this time. As a commodity, honeysuckle needs more complex post-processing. The picked honeysuckle should be placed in the straw mat and spread out for drying. Pay attention not to be exposed to the sun, and it needs to be dried within two days. When drying, it is better not to turn the honeysuckle, or the flower will turn black and reduce the quality.
