Methods of producing dried flowers

Abstract

This section refers to the method of producing dried medicinal flowers. Dried flowers (10) are obtained by separating the inflorescence (12) from the stem and drying the inflorescence (12). Examples of plants to be processed into dried medicinal flowers (10) contain the genus Phalaenopsis orchids. The inflorescence (12) contains the petals (14), the upper sepal (16), the lower sepal (18), the middle petals of the orchid flower (20), the pollen mass (22), and the anther cluster (24). The pollen mass (22) is created with a viscous reaction, and the pollen mass (22) in the viscous state is covered with a pollen capsule (24). The pollen capsule (24) is created with a small hole or a mark of the hole closed by deformation due to shrinkage from drying or similar form.
