It absorbs moisture from flowers rapidly, thus preserving flower color better than other drying methods. Most flowers will dry in 36 to 48 hours. http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/pubs/plantsci/landscap/h1037w.htm This link will give you several methods but I think the silica gel will work best. PS I think it's reusable. It's that little bag that comes in the bottom of packed items such medicines over the counter etc. It's a moisture absorbing agent.<br><b>References : </b><br>above link self Silica Gel

You can purchase it through florists and craft stores. There are directions on the container, but you have to basically place the whole flowers in the gel to dry them out and they will still retain the way they look now. Your boyfriend sounds like a keeper and a sweet guy. Have a good day.<br><b>References : </b><br> There is a product called silica gel that you can preserve them with.

Now I know that hydranga blooms can be preserved by placing them in a large container, upside down the slowly pour SILICA sand (probably can buy at any hardware store or home depot) to cover the blooms. It slowly pulls the moisture out and dries them without changing the color. You might call a florist and ask if that can be done.<br><b>References : </b><br> When I dry flowers, I hand them upside down in a cool place.

I would say hang them upside down until they are dried because they turn out better.<br><b>References : </b><br> I think you are supposed to hang them upside down to dry them… but I had some where I didn’t do that I just let them dry in the vase and they were fine, but the stems aren’t straight anymore they kinda picked a side to droop to but its not too bad.
