How do you wax flowers that have already dried?

Saturday, July 12th, 2008
PseudoGuru asked:


I have flowers from an event that have been air drying for over a year (sort of forgot about them). Since they’ve become fragile, I’m concerned over typical methods used to wax fresh flowers because I’m afraid the wax will be too thick and will cause my flowers to break. Is there anything that can be done to thin the wax down or is there another approach that could be used to preserve them?

david m asked:


Hello. I have sandy soil, live in Michigan, zone 5. The area I want flowers in is about 6×10. The area gets full sun all day and most sun after 2pm. House faces west, the flowers are to be in the front of the house. What flowers are really easy to start with, and what combinations should I use. Any really good websites anyone knows of could help too.

I have tried several beautiful flowers in my flower beds in front of my house but they just don’t last in this Florida heat even though I water them well in the evenings. What flowers can I plant either annuals or perenials that will last in our heat?

angeldust asked:


I want to decorate my home with real flowers that are able to be maintained indoors and will grow year round. Because we live in an apartment, I am not able to go outside and play with soil and such, but I really would like to get some flowers that I can keep indoors, grow, and maintain.
