1 cup rose petals ('Angel Face' is a soft purple color and has a extraordinary fragrance, but any rose you love will work nicely.) 1/4 cup rose buds 1/2 cup lavender flowers 1 cup rose geranium leaves (small leaves work best) 1/4 cup blue delphinium blossoms or 1/4 cup blue salvia flowers (This adds color and texture to the mix rather than fragrance. You can use thyme blossoms, snippets of cedar and even lemon verbena leaves. Keep in mind that scented blossoms will change the fragrance.) 4 tablespoons orris root powder 5 drops Victorian rose oil 5 drops lavender oil Dry all flowers and leaves until they are crisp. Mix together gently in a large bowl. Add the orris root and mix again. Add the oils one drop at a time, mixing after each scent is added. Put the potpourri into a large glass jar. Seal it tightly for several weeks while it matures. Stir occasionally.
