Preserve Valentines flowers

Dried roses as a memento of Valentines Day

Below are some long-stemmed dried roses from last Valentines Day. Once the fresh flowers started to fade, I hung them up to dry. How to preserve Valentines flowers.

My pressed flower project – a Valentines heart box

I filled the pressed flower box I made last week with dried rose memories.

I filled my box with little dried roses from last years Summer garden.

The language of flowers

In the Victorian language of flowers, each flower conveyed a secret message.
Some meanings from this dried flower project include:

Red roses for true love & pink roses for grace

Forget-me-knots for fidelity

Viola – in my thoughts

Happy Valentines Day!
