RE: ColorChallenge - How to Preserve Rosebuds for Food and Crafts - Wednesday's Yellow
They look so pretty dried like that, but in the other hand it is such a shame not to see the roses fully open.
When I was a kid I used to dry all kinds of flowers between sheets of paper and stuck in some big book. But just for crafting purposes.
It is a shame to keep a rose from opening. But there are so many of them on the White Dawn at least -- you can see it in this post about the Big World for a Little Snail. Usually I harvest the buds when a big storm is forecast a few days out or when I'm headed out of town for a day or two. That way I really won't miss the flowers, because they will fall apart in the storm or bloom while I am gone.
Drying flowers in a big book like you did, is fun. It's a good way to deal with flowers that aren't too thick.
That's different. When you know they would be destroyed anyway. At least you have the buds now :)
A dried rosebud in the hand is worth two fallen apart out on the rose bush, lol!
Thanks for resteeming my rosebuds, too, @ewkaw!
You are very welcome :D
