Looks like a sea of yellow.  When I pick I put twelve stems in a bunch and fasten with a rubber band.  I then hang them in a barn upside down to dry.  Keep out the light as much as you can and also keep some air moving with a fan on low.  Its best not to dry them to fast because this will make them much more brittle.  This is the best way to dry anything.  If picked at the right time your dried flowers will stay color true and not fall apart for years.
