Dried flowers diaries April 2013
Dried flowers from Barcelona
Shortly after Easter my lovely husband took me to Barcelona for a long weekend. I couldn’t help but notice these dried flowers in the flower markets – so pretty and only a Euro a bunch.
These bright little dried flowers are each only about 1cm across.

I spend as much time in the garden as I can at this time of year and couldn’t resist planting these two by my front door: blue corydalis and pink bleeding hearts, a vibrant combination!
But violas are my favourite flowers because of their pretty faces, and I grow them every year. I particularly enjoy drying them by pressing them, and this time last year I experimented with crystallising them too.
Violas picked from my garden this year and ready to dry in my flower press.
Hi there, I love those Barcelona dried flower bouquets too. Any ideas what type of flowers they used?
Hi Liz, Yes they are dried glixia flowers which have been dyed into all sorts of fun colours!
