We must be tincturing sisters at heart! In the New Year I will be getting a distillation unit together, and that's where we'll differ. No lavender grows near here. I'll be playing around with tropical botanicals like avocado leaf, banana leaf, guava leaf, and others I am putting on my short list. -- Sincerely, Anya Anya's Garden of Natural Perfume http://AnyasGarden.com - rare and exotic aromatics and artisan perfumes, perfumery classes and consultation Natural Perfumers Guild http://NaturalPerfumersGuild.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the New Year I will be getting a distillation unit together, and that's where we'll differ. Sincerely, Anya I am really interested to have details about distilling units you use and process details. I have a lemon geranium outside full of leaves and begging to be distilled and also a 6' bush with yellow daisy like flowers called Mexican Mint by the locals cannot find any info for common name my friend the botanist said it was in calendula family. Very fragrant. Butterflies glue two flowers together for cocoon sweet many different types cocoon there. Dilema could be harmful to humans and nothing like it in any books I have seen perhaps Alwyn knows as she lives in CA anyone really. thanks BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can come met you and just bring you a bouquet and we can see what we think. My schedule is that I have to teach Music this week from Monday through Thursday then I am done until next year...YEAH!!! Once I carried this flower with Fresh Feverfew to a crowded steamy lecture in August and the fragrance made me breath easier. That is why I think it is probably not harmful. Commonly seen on the outer sidewalk ground near the road in this area. Also it is a deer break Thank you Ma'am BB 510-644-2208 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a website that describes something called Tagetes lucida, which sounds like it may be your plant: http://tinyurl.com/2p22xe It sounds like in moderation, it is a safe and in fact very useful herb. However, I also found websites that claim that in high doses, it can be psychoactive/mildly hallucinogenic. Hopefully our own Tisserand can comment. Cheers!
