Roses, lavender, and hydrangeas air-dry exceptionally well by hanging them upside down. Ah, the smell of flowers. The meaning of life is the flowers in the vase. Gathering and pressing blossoms are part of a long tradition, a romantic and magical way to save a memory, to create immortality. Oak and maple leaves, poppies , and pansies are excellent.
Pressed flowers create beautiful cards , pictures, and decorative frames or candles.
People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us. Keepsakes honor sweetness and create immortality.
