I love my gardens, and I love pressing flowers, within that statement lies my dilemma. If I pick from my gardens too extensively, I lose the appeal of their mass of colors. I’ve learned over the years to grow the flowers I press in separate containers in an out-of-the-way place. When I grow my pressed flowers this way I can lift the containers onto my potting bench for easy picking, and my gardens don’t begin to look like lush foliage without bloom. The flowers planted in containers also gather less soil on their petals in rainstorms or heavy winds. I buy most of my containers at the dollar store and fill them with inexpensive soil. They do great and having them all in one area saves time too.
Beautiful Flowers.

I’d love to see some posts of your pressed flowers! Do you frame them or use them in stationery?

Hi Robin, Thanks for checking out my pressed flower posts. I’ll be putting some of my work on the blog over the next few months. Right now, you can find me on Pinterest. I have the link on several of the blog posts. I will add it into one of my blog posts this week once more. Check back, and thanks for visiting and being so kind to take the time to comment. Kathy
