 o
Flower drying? Also Barbados flower drying?

Posted by mrsmu UK (My Page) on

I want to dry or preserve my bouquets and as many arrangements as possible. Apart from drying roses, does anyone have any other good ways or suggestions of doing that?

My flowers were:
Roses
Chrysanthemum Feeling Green Dark

aster tataricus
statice pink diamond
new york aster

I know u can get them dried and framed, I'm going to try and look for sum companies that do that but I would rather be able to touch the bouquet than it be in a closed frame in a way!!!?

Also, while I'm on, I'm in Barbaods at mo and there are some gorgeous flowers, including some in our welcome arrangment in our room, but no idea how to dry them? Tried in the oven, but doesn't work too well.
These are some I can find:
