Every year in Spring, people pick the flowers from the Linden trees on a warm day at the height of the flowers’ scent.  They are spread on newspapers in a dry place until they are brittle.  Store in glass jars or brown paper bags once you are confident that they are dry enough.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Linden trees are popular trees grown in the northern hemisphere. Also known as the Tigli tree.  You will find them in large gardens,  and shading boulevards and piazzas or town squares.<\/p>\n
