Botanicals in HP - when to add them?

[scrapgabbie]

l want to try some calendula petals in my HP soap, but am not sure whether to add them at the start of the cook or at the end. I was hoping to get some of the lovely yellow colour from them infused in my soap, but not if the petals are going to 'cook' and go brown as a result!

Add your botanicals at the end of the cook just before you're ready to pour.
