My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Drying tulip petals

19 years ago

Hi,

I am new to this forum. I got a bouquet of tulips, and the petals are falling off in four days =(

I would like to save them and store them as a special memory. How do I dry these petals and maintain its color. I am not even sure if this is possible but I have heard thats rose petals are stored like this.

Thanks!
