Go to some place like JoAnn Fabrics and get some silica gel. It will preserve the flower in the state it is in now. Any craft store has this stuff. It's like little beads and you pour it onto the item you want to preserve, it drys out the moisture and you have the item dryed and preserved. You will need a nice bowl or jar probably glass to do this. Silica gel is great for preserving things.
Reply:you can't preserve the colour 100% as it's depedant on the flower being alive, do what people have been doing for 100's of years and place it in some tissue paper and stick it in a large book for a few months.
Reply:Do you want to preserve it whole, so that it looks like a fresh flower? If so, use silica gel crystals. You can find them at any larger craft store. You pour a small layer into a container with a lid (like a plastic food storage box, or a cookie tin. Then you put the flower, removed from the stem, right side up in the silica gel. Then slowly pour the crystals over the flower until it is completely covered. Put the lid on the box and wait for a couple of days. Then check it to see how it's doing. Within less than a week, the silica gel crystals will have removed all the moisture from the flower. This method really does a good job of preserving the form and color of a flower.
Reply:You can go to your local craft store. They sell silica crystals. You lay the flower gently in and cover with that and let it sit for about a week. Also there is a material for delicate flowers called oolitic sand. place the material in a closed container with the flower
