The best 'liquid' to maintain flowers in is the following:
--A sugar/water solution (the ideal proportions may take some experimenting)
--something that lowers the pH of the water and keeps bacteria and fungi from growing, like a biocide.
Using this method can make fresh flowers last for as much as 30 days or more!

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.
