Message: [QUOTE="Mockingbird, post: 43078, member: 1732"] Cardamom pods are a nice addition to home made potpourri, I like full allspice berries, full or cracked pieces of nutmeg and cinnamon. These items all add texture and bulk. For flowers you can also use rose hips, dried marigold, mints, dried Echinacea, dried nasturtium, bugle weed flowers (dried whole) and the little seed pods from snap dragons. If you look closely at the snap dragon seed pod it looks like a small face. I get these tall yellow spike plants, I call them popcorn because they look like popcorn kernels on a stick before they open, but the are actually common mullein, it resembles lambs ears gone to flower, they have nice seed pods that you can also dry and use for potpourri.
