I tried it last sping with some columbines and tulips. I didnt use epoxy but a product called Eniro-tek Lite which is a laquer. After numerous coats they looked great, almost like a flower encased in glass. They lasted about a week and then the moisture in the flowers started to mold and the petals turned brown. I have since tried it with dried strawflowers and they still look great about 3 months later. So just from one persons experience, dried flowers are the way to go.

Thanks for letting me know. I was curious if the fresh flowers would mold or not.

Do your dried flowers keep their color? I grew Playboy roses this year and their colors are spectacular. I tried to dry them and they looked -- not so great. I just did a basic flower between books approach and am wondering if a different approach would work better.

I put mine in a food dehydrator and some work while others don't. All of my strawflowers look great but I tried a dahlia and a zinnia and they came out terrible. It seems that whichever flowers are good for natural drying are the only ones that work good.
