The preservation of flowers has existed since early history, while planned or deliberate flower preservation is a more prevalent modern concept. Having said this, there was also evidence of this having existed when bones of a pre-historic man were discovered in the Middle East with dainty wild flowers next to him. This was probably as a tribute to the passing loved one. The archaeologists who discovered them, agreed that since pollen grains that were present, it could possibly indicate evidence of their deliberate use. Vivid and brightly colored flowers were also found in several Egyptian tombs.

There is a flower called helichrysum which stays for months in the same condition as when they are fresh.
I would imagine it is a favorite in flower bouquets.
You guessed it right. And when the bouquet is thrown away those flowers are retained
I think properly preserved flowers can be lovely all the time. I remember my mom once had a bouquet of autumn marigolds that when dried lasted practically forever.
I didn’t they dried so well.
That is something very interesting think about for sure. How cool would it be to know this was really true.
Yes,I agree,Carol. It would be interesting to know that in spite of how long ago it was,that, it was for the same reason, love.:-)
