This is only a suggestion that will perhaps get some response from others. I have used Glycerin to preserve plants such as umbrella plant with gree dye added. If you want to save the natural colors, which will not be the excat as when fresh, Do Not add dye. Use the key word Glycerin to search and read more about using this as a way to preserve flowers. One thing you have to do is to start the process when the plant is still looking good. For example if the edges of the flower/plant have already started to dry the glycerin will not restore the dried pieces I have a lovely bird of paradise that I'm going to try this with, Good Luck!

∙ 13y agoI usually hang the flowers upside down and allow them to dry. I also press them in picture frames. Either way they look and keep their colors. I have some from 2006 that still have their colors.

How do you preserve flowers?
There are actually quite a few different ways to preserve flowers. I have received many arrangements and have dried flowers all over! That is how I prefer to preserve them. I wait until they are at the point I want to preserve them at, then I tie a piece of string to the bottom of the stem and hang it upside down until it is completely dry. This preserves the color too. Don't hang it from the wall though, your flowers will have a flat side). A great way to quickly dry flowers while preserving both the color and shape of the blooms is to use Silica Gel, as found in Flower Drying Crystals. These are easy to use, simply place the flowers and Silica Gel in an airtight container. I have used them to dry everything from roses to daisies, wild flowers, to orchids.
