A few days after hibiscus flowers bloom, their petals start to wrinkle and wilt. Eventually, they will fall off. Wrinkles on the petals are a sign that the plant is ripe and ready to harvest. Hibiscus plants are capable of blooming year-round. They are most likely to do this during the spring and summer when the weather is best, but they can even bloom in the winter in suitable climates. Wash the calyxes once all the seed pods are removed. They're now ready for use in your tea. Use the calyxes just like you would use dried hibiscus in either of the recipes above. If you don't want to use the hibiscus to make tea right away, pat the calyxes dry with a paper towel, then let them dry completely before storing them. There are several ways you can do this: Seal the flowers in an airtight container with silica. This is the same chemical used in the drying packets sometimes found in clothes pockets. You can buy silica desiccant (the kind used for drying) from chemical supply retailers. Put the hibiscus on a rack or tray in the oven at a low temperature (like 100 degrees F) for several hours. See our article on drying flowers for details. If the weather's hot and dry, you can also leave them on a drying rack in the sun. Try to put them somewhere animals won't get to them.

One-sentence summary -- Find ripe hibiscus flowers. Use the calyxes in your tea. Alternatively, dry and store in an airtight container.

Q: When the excitement of the moment rushes over you, it's easy to move your mouth forward too quickly. If you go too fast, you may actually hit your mouth against the other person's mouth causing pain for both of you. Don't be afraid to lean forward slowly to make sure you connect just right. If touching the hair doesn't feel quite right, you can also place a hand on the shoulder. This type of touching is just a way to help steady yourself and the other kisser. Not tilting your head the right way is a common mistake. In general, people are more likely to lean to the right. This may not prove effective every time, but the odds are good. (Which way to lean is also a good topic for the pre-kiss talk!) Since this kiss is on a dare, it's likely that you will not know the person you're kissing very well. It is best to start out slowly and not be too aggressive. Don't use your tongue unless you feel your partner initiate it. If the kiss is going well, it's okay to let it last a little while. If you start to feel uncomfortable, or you can tell the other person is, go ahead and end the kiss. It seems obvious, but how the kiss ends is important. Don't pull away too quickly. If the kiss went on for a while, pulling away and then giving a light, short kiss is a good way to end it.
A: Move in for the kiss slowly. Place your hand on the back of the head and pull it forward gently. Tilt your head to the right. Be gentle. Kiss for the right amount of time. End the kiss.

Article: Occasionally, the BART system encounters delays due to reasons ranging from medical emergencies on trains, equipment issues on trains and tracks, and police activity at stations. If it is very critical for you to be somewhere at a particular time, please aim to take a train that is expected to get you to your location well in advance. If arriving at a particular time is critical, check before entering the system whether there are any system-wide delays. You can use the BART service advisories and also check for announcements displayed at the station. If the BART delay occurs when you are already in a downtown San Francisco BART station and need to go to a location in San Francisco, consider using the Metro system (which shares station locations with the four downtown San Francisco stations). You can also consider using Uber, Lyft, or other car-ordering services. Order the service when you exit the train so that it arrives by the time you are out on the street. However, keep in mind that car-ordering services may experience significant surge pricing during system-wide BART delays, so check the surge multiplier before you use them. Keep in mind that during system delays, stations can get very crowded. This can make them unsafe to navigate. It can also make it harder to get Internet access through your cellphone, because a large number of people stuck in a small geographical area may be trying to use the Internet to while away their time and communicate to their friends and colleagues that that they are stuck, thus clogging the network.
