Blackcurrant Flowers

[Kepis]

Carving small Gypsy Flowers in the sunshine, these smell amazing as they are made from Blackcurrant.

How on Earth do you manage to do that? Impressive!

Stupid question: If you immerse the 'flowers' in boiling water, will it make a tea that smells of B.C.?

Nice work, I'd just about forgotten about those. Very Chrysanthemum look about them.
Do they change much with changing humidity or temperature?

I suggest that a handful of black currants in boiling water will make a better drink!
Wooden you say?

You get one taste from the berries, another subtly different taste from the leaves, maybe a third variety from the wood?

It must be difficult to carve such fine petals!
