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.

Preserving Hoya Flowers

9 years ago

Hoya Elmerii dropped it's first set of blooms today. I barely touched the peduncle and they all fell into my hand

I am curious, is there a way to preserve the flowers forever? Not like dehydrating them in a book, who wants smashed dried Hoya blooms Lol. But a thought came to me while I was observing them, wouldn't it just be gorgeous if I could find a glass blower or artist that could preserve them in a clear cube or ball?

Any input would be appreciated, or if anyone has done this before. I think I'm onto something!

    Acrylic or epoxy resin preservation, perhaps.
