The flowers petals and oil infuse. The flowers have to dry at least 12 hours before you can infuse them, or they say it will make your oil go rancid (if the flowers are not dry they contain too much water).Pioneer Woman at Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16533698959389851926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264863019487640784.post-11137705448699569352015-09-13T18:07:37.578-07:002015-09-13T18:07:37.578-07:00Did you put some kind of oil in with the flowers i...Did you put some kind of oil in with the flowers in the jar, or did the liquid that's in the jar come off the flowers?<br />We've been seeing this growing in fields and ditches in NC for years and wondered what they were. (Now we know. LOL)<br />Have even tried to transplant some from the field across the road from us (the neighbor doesn't mind). Once moved and replanted, they didn't take. So this year, we're going to try for the seeds.<br />God bless.<br />RB<br /><><RBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13053380234618898848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264863019487640784.post-89014664932845322712015-09-13T13:41:44.102-07:002015-09-13T13:41:44.102-07:00Sandra, I love it!

Also, the salve uses 4 oz. of oil, so it uses a lot if you only make one pint of calendula oil. The lip balm only used 3 Tbsp. I may make the lip balm one more time for winter (using peppermint).Pioneer Woman at Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16533698959389851926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264863019487640784.post-84284864343097280042015-09-12T13:46:35.144-07:002015-09-12T13:46:35.144-07:00Kim, we love this stuff, and all of us like the ja...Kim, we love this stuff, and all of us like the jars, except one kiddo. I think the recipe makes less tubes than jars, so I used the 1/4 oz. jars. I wanted to stretch it as much as possible, to try it out and see if it would make a good gift idea. I just used the salve today after splitting wood.
