I need to know how to freeze fresh flowers from a funeral!?

My husbands grandmother died and he got flowers from her gravesite and I wanted to freeze them for him. I have heard of people doing it but I have never done it myself and need to know how. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

What I did with the flower I got from my Grandmother's funeral was hung it upsidedown. Just spray it with hairspray %26amp; it'll last forever.
Reply:A good way to preserve flowers is getting some silica gel-beads (looks like sand) and putting the flower in it . Read the directions on how long to microwave it for.





The silica will suck every last bit of moisture from the flower, but keep it perfectly preserved. You can then spray it with some lacquer to keep them forever.





You should be able to find silica from art/craft stores.
Reply:I've never heard of freezing them. Flowers often turn black when they are frozen.





You can dry them. Hang them upside down in a dark place for a week or so.
Reply:Some flowers can not be frozen.


Your local flower shop would be happy to loOK at them and tell you, if it is ok.
Reply:hi
