The harvest season of Safflower is in Sept.-Nov.   With Safflowers got in, they are placed on bamboo basket or bamboo mattress in a cool dry ventilated place, where the flowers will be well dried naturally. During the course of drying, the flowers should be often stirred. If the flowers are harvested in rainy days, however,  they should be dried in an oven with the temperature about 40 to 60℃.
