A memory that lasts, don't forget me

One of the best for drying. The color holds a long time.

Light

Somewhere airy

Water

A little water is enough

Temperature

Room temperature

Preservative

Not needed

Do this when you get home

  1. Trim the stems and stand them in a little clean water
  2. To dry them: hang them upside down somewhere cool and airy. They're dry in a week or two, and the color barely fades.

Day to day

  • If they're in water, change it every 3-5 days
  • Feeling papery and crisp is normal. That's the calyx.

Common questions

The dried flowers crumble when you touch them?

Handle them gently. A light mist of hairspray from a distance helps set them.
