Flower arranging?

I would like to know how to perserve flowers and what flowers are longest lasting in an oasis bouqet. thanks and flower power.

Flower arranging?
most flowers that are "preservable" will do well if you take the entire bouquet out of the vase and turn it upside down. Then tie it together with string , wire, whatever you have, then hang it near a window for a week or so. They will dry beautifully this way and retain more of their color. Roses dry particularly well, but many other flowers do also.As far as your bouquet, just hang the entire bouquet and you will soon know what dries well and what doesn't. Simply remove any flowers that aren't drying well.
Reply:I use Silaca beads to preserve Zinna's and carnations and daisies, but I am not sure what type of flowers are in an oasis bouquet.
