That's amazing! :flower: Four blooms the first night and six last night - sounds like your Queen of the Night is putting on a spectacular show! These night-blooming cacti are so special, and it's wonderful that you get to witness their beauty. Did you get a chance to enjoy their fragrance? Would love to see a picture if you have one!

I haven't grown this plant but from its looks I'd suspect there is quite a bit of moisture in the petals making it hard to press successfully without a lot of special treatment. Also, most white flowers turn brown when pressed That being said, you have nothing to lose by trying:)

Beautiful plant well done. Their flowers are delicate and ideally preserved when open - this may be difficult to achieve. I would suggest attempting Silica Gel to preserver the shape and colour.

would acrylic work? ... i've seen some plants come out really nice.

try using the silica gel drying method

fill the bottom of an airtight container with a layer of silica gel, place the flower, carefully fill the flowers with silica gel so that they are completely covered, but are not deformed. close the container tightly and leave for 1-2 weeks in a dry place. then carefully remove the flowers and clean them of any remaining silica gel
