i have a dozen roses i want to dry in the perfect state they are in.
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:check out this link for two easy ways to do this.
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:completely cover them w/fuller's(sp?) earth.
Reply:I believe it might be in silica powder this removes the moisture not positive though
Reply:hang the roses upside down and rub lemon juice over cut stems daily
Reply:Wrap a rubberband around the stems and hang them upside down in a dark, dry place.

Odd spiritual question: Can you close your eyes and picture a flower,?
What comes to mind? What color? Does this in anyway reflect your mood or spiritual state of mind today? Silly perhaps but it is interesting. I pictured a beautiful Peace Rose, pink and yellow.
Odd spiritual question: Can you close your eyes and picture a flower,?
i pictured a little lilac one
you know debra when I am doing my classes with my group
this is one of the excersizes we use when doing psychic development
we imagine a flower for someone , describe it and how we feel it applies to the person with us
I love doing flower readings :o)
and yours say a lot about you xx

Reply:At the moment, I pictured a pink cranebill...
Reply:I tried it !
I ended up, seriously, seeing many images of all the flowers in our gardens. Some with familiar names and some I cannot pronounce. It all just reminded me of the beauty which God has spread out before us to enjoy and have dominion over.
What an awesome God !
Reply:a daisy...it's always a daisy
Reply:Red rose. Passion, love.
Reply:a tricolor tulip.... but it's from heaven, because it's a new color along with yellow and green...... the colors are more colorful and brighter since there is no shadows in heaven, no death.
Reply:A shocking fuchsia hibiscus.
Reply:It was a single flower, shaped like a daisy, but with a bluish hue. It was the only flower in a grassy field.
Edit: I went outside, and there was my daisy, standing in the back yard alone. :o) I am certain it wasn't there yesterday.
Reply:There is a wildflower blooming on the path I run along. it is about three feet high and has a light purple cone of small flowers opening near the top. the small flowers at the bottom of the cone are open, but from halfway to the point they are still in bud. I saw this yesterday and it comes quickly to mind.
Reply:I see yellow roses in the front of my house. I love red roses and someday I will add some.
Good question to focus on something beautiful!
Reply:A carpet of yellow orange California Poppies in the April desert.
Reply:I like this question :)
I imagined a White Daisy.
Reply:violets, purple blue... all over the yard of my childhood...
Reply:Actually, I don't think this is silly at all. I like your question. I can close my eyes and picture one very small lonely flower. I flower with wilted petals that has been neglected and left alone to fend for itself. One that doesn't get a great deal of sun except for the window that is behind it. One lonely flower inside a cracked vase. And, yes, this relects how I am feeling right now. I am dealing with some pretty heavy stuff right now. To put it mildly, my heart is breaking.
Reply:Yes, I picture a red rose, and think of JESUS' true LOVE.
God Bless
Reply:It was easy. I saw a sunflower. I don't think it means anything other than the fact that it's my favorite flower.
Reply:Brown eyed Susan....
they are so down to earth and natural...
Peace be with you.
Reply:I see a bright red aster. I don't even know if asters come in red or not.
Reply:A deep purple iris. I'm not really sure what my mood is. I'm driving to Dallas tomorrow, so I'm dashing around, getting things taken care of. I don't know that my choice reflects anything about my mood today. Perhaps I'm picturing that to calm myself.
Reply:As a plant ecologist, I have a different view of flowers. I can picture hundreds of kinds. When I do, I'm thinking about how the plant uses the flower in its native ecosystem for reproduction and how particular features of the flower reveal the plant's taxonomic history (phylogeny). Roses are weird because they have been artificially selected to have so many petals (wild roses only have 5 petals), so they're kind of "freakish" to me.
*edit*
Am I being thumbed down for not thinking "spiritually enough", or because I said roses are freakish? I study plants because I think they're amazing. I just think big, fluffy roses are kind of odd in the same way I think poodles are. Oh well...
Reply:Deep purple and yellows like a sunset on Maine's Cadillac Mountain.

How would you characterize this rhetoric in this passage?
Such was the young clergyman's condition, and so
imminent the prospect that his dawning light would be
extinguished, all untimely, when Roger Chillingworth
made his advent to the town. His first entry on the
scene, few people could tell whence, dropping down,
as it were, out of the sky, or starting from the nether
earth, had an aspect of mystery, which was easily
heightened to the miraculous. He was now known to
be a man of skill; it was observed that he gathered
herbs, and the blossoms of wild-flowers, and dug up
roots and plucked off twigs from the forest-trees, like
one acquainted with hidden virtues in what was value-less
to common eyes. He was heard to speak of Sir
Kenelm Digby, and other famous men, -- whose scien-
tific attainments were esteemed hardly less than super-
natural, -- as having been his correspondents or asso-
ciates. Why, with such rank in the learned world, had
he come hither? What could he, whose sphere was in
great cities, be seeking in the wilderness? In answer
to this query, a rumor gained ground, -- and, however
absurd, was entertained by some very sensible people,
-- that Heaven had wrought an absolute miracle, by
transporting an eminent Doctor of Physic, from a Ger-
man university, bodily through the air, and setting him
down at the door of Mr. Dimmesdale's study! Individuals
of wiser faith, indeed, who knew that Heaven pro-
motes its purposes without aiming at the stage-effect of
what is called miraculous interposition, were inclined to
see a providential hand in Roger Chillingworth's so opportune arrival.
This idea was countenanced by the strong interest
which the physician ever manifested in the young
clergyman; he attached himself to him as a parishioner,
and sought to win a friendly regard and confidence
from his naturally reserved sensibility. He
expressed great alarm at his pastor's state of health, but
was anxious to attempt the cure, and, if early
undertaken, seemed not despondent of a favorable result.
The elders, the deacons, the motherly dames, and the
young and fair maidens, of Mr. Dimmesdale's flock,
were alike importunate that he should make trial of the
physician's frankly offered skill. Mr. Dimmesdale gently
repelled their entreaties.
How would you characterize this rhetoric in this passage?
elevated, formal, detached
Reply:I'd characterize it as too long to waste time on.
Reply:It reads like something back in the time of the Bronte sisters, when you never used one adjective if three would do.
In style, the rhetoric is pedantic. And boring.
