flower preservation
Keeping blooms lasting
Flower preservation is the practice of treating cut flowers to maintain their appearance long after they would naturally wilt and decay.
Methods include pressing, drying, freeze-drying, and treating with silica gel or glycerin.
Preserved flowers appear in crafts, keepsakes, and decorations: She had her wedding bouquet preserved.
