What is the best way to dry a bouqet of flowers?
there are many techniques, but the one I use most it hanging them upside down in a dark closet for about a week or so. Make sure the blooms are still pretty tight and make sure no moisture gets to them while they are drying....

Reply:Give the 10 to KIM. That is by far the most effective, least messy and labor intensive way. Gravity, and a Dry closet, out of the way of being disturbed is what I've done...Even attaching the stems to coat hangers.

Reply:hang the roses upside down and rub lemon juice over cut stems daily
