Harvesting, Preserving & Arranging Dried Flowers

For the millions of flower lovers who don't have the luxury of decorating with fresh blooms every week, Cathy Miller's Harvesting, Preserving & Arranging Dried Flowers offers the perfect solution: an inexpensive, expressive way to create warmth and beauty year-round.
Featuring more than fifty floral "recipes." All illustrated with brilliant full-color photographs by Rob Gray, Harvesting, Preserving & Arranging Dried Flowers is the most comprehensive, contemporary, and practical book on the subject. By mixing such popular favorites as carnations and marigolds with more exotic flora like cattails and eucalyptus leaves, and by incorporating a wide range of organic elements--fruits, grasses and weeds, seasonal ornaments, even found objects--Harvesting, Preserving & Arranging Dried Flowers celebrates the full extent of nature's bounty.
Drawing from her twenty-plus years of expertise in the art and craft of drying flowers, using the most up-to-date methods--including microwaving and glycerinization--and aided by an assortment of household products, Cathy Miller shows readers how to create fabulous arrangements that last for years. The preserved roses, delphiniums, peonies, and other blooms that beckon from the pages of Harvesting, Preserving & Arranging Dried Flowers look as if they were just plucked from the soil.

May have their interest in orchids first aroused by the bloom that Thai Airways service personnel give passengers to pin to their shirt or coat.

This sort is one of Thailand's most common flowers, the mundane purple or violet orchid, but its very beauty may serve as the visitor's introduction to the nearly boundless variety and beauty of Thai orchids.

The form of some orchids mimics the shape of bees, wasps, or even spiders to frighten off unsuitable potential pollinators. Defensive behaviours for orchids which cannot endure the unruly pollinating behaviour of bees include the production of bee-specific sedatives which anaesthetize invading bees, preserving the flower's pollen.

Others have developed the ability to move their blossoms, triggered by vibrations of undesirable pollinators, which scares the unacceptable insects off. Some orchids which cannot tolerate wasps as pollinators have evolved the ability to close their petals when they sense a wasp and emit the pheromone scent of a mating-receptive female. Female wasps are repelled and males attempt to mate with rather than pollinate the bloom.

Thank you to love orchids:)

These pictures were taken at the beautiful Watershed Nature Center in northern Edwardsville, Illinois. The Norfolk Southern train line at Bluff Junction passes right by the north edge of the Watershed. The Watershed is a medium sized nature preserve with a good sized lake, a swamp area, beautiful wildlife, and a building with tour guides and brochures. The Watershed is a man-made ecosystem where there used to be a city dump for Edwardsville.
