More information on Erie can be found at ErieNet. I would also like to extend a greeting to all the international visitors we have and regret that we cannot provide this information in all languages. Many flowers in the United States of America, wild or cultivated, originated all over the world. A partial list of flowers grown by me for pressing is described below. There are certain methods used to get better color in flowers.
Many flowers are too fleshy to press.
Some flowers fade to sepia tones. Although sepia tone can be very desirable. Pressing flowers begins about February 20th in our climate, with Snowdrops. Snowdrops are green and white in color and add very pretty shades when used on cards, bookmarks, pictures, glass and goose eggs. Next are the Blue Scilla.
