after the first 2 petals on a new bloom is the time to do so and mid day is when you do ive thrown out thousands of perfect dried blooms because no one wants them lol
We recommend harvesting when 2-3 layers of petals have unfolded but before flowers fully open to reveal center. Please note that blooms that are past optimal maturity will close in the dark of night and on dark, overcast days. These blooms can appear as if they are at the at a good stage for cutting, though they are over mature. To avoid these misleading blooms, harvest on bright mornings or let your harvested blooms set in light for a few hours.
