Dried flowers are economical

By Patricia m. rathburn Extension Agent, Home Ec. Flowers add a personal touch to your home. An economical way to change the flowers to suit your mood year round is by making your own dried flower arrangements. Collecting plant material for preserving and designing has increased in popularity. You need only develop a “seeing eye” to spot the many natural materials available for arrangements. Besides those found in your own garden a stroll through the country side will reveal many blossoms, foilage, seed pods, and grasses. Plant materials, when preserved, remain in good condition for years. Here are three simple methods of preserving your materials: Air drying — just strip foilage from fresh cut flowers. Sturdy flowers such as zinnias, marigolds, strawflowers, herbs, and mints work well. Tie loosely in small bundles and hang upside down in a warm, darkened room for one or two weeks. Store in cardboard boxes until you’re ready to use them. Glycerine method — Smash the bottom two to three inches of stems of fresh cut broad-leafed evergreens. Place stems immediately in four or five inches of solution consisting of two parts hot water to one to two parts glycerine or anti-freeze. Add more solution as it is absorbed. Soak two to three weeks or until leaves have become supple and golden brown. You can use this

method on deciduous branches such as oak, dogwood, and beech in mid-summer before the sap stops flowing. Materials remain supple and useful for years. They are excellent alone in large arrangements or combined with fresh flowers. Pressing — You can press flowers and foilage between sheets of porous paper such as newspaper or telephone directory. Place a weight on top. Drying may require several weeks. If you’re in a hurry, press with a warm iron until all the moisture is gone. These methods produce a flat effect, suitable for arrangements, but useful for pressed flower pictures, laminated lampshades, stationery and other flat designs. Burying flowers in silica gel dries them quickly and aids in retaining their natural beauty and form. The most delicate flowers are best preserved this way. Flowers diried by this method may absorb moisture from the air so it is advisable to use them only in the dry winter months or in arrangements under airtight glass or clear plastic domes. Many materials need no special attention. Merely cut strong stalks such as com, grains, dock, goldenrod, milkweed, bittersweet, cattails and stand upright in tall containers until ready to use. Seed pods — such as tulip, poppy, wisteria — can be clipped from their stalks and spread out to dry. Magnolia pods, sweetgum balls, acorn, nuts, small gourds and cones should be dried throughly to prevent mildew. When collecting materials, choose only those in prime condition. To obtain desired color gradations, teasels, Queen-Annes-lace, and many pods and grasses can be bleached and made more effective by soaking for a short time in a solution of one-half cup bleach to a gallon of water. Preserving your own flowers can be fun and economical. Nature provides an abundance of plants to choose from.
