Dear Iris Lovers: Please, if any of you have a successful method of
drying and/or preserving the bloom, will you please share?
There is a product I have seen advsertized on TV called EVERLAST.
Have any of you tried it?
The flowers are so beautiful - and other than pressing them - I have
never seen anything written about preserving them. I heard once that
dipping the flower in melted wax - stem and all would do it - but I have
not tried it.
My iris bloom in the spring - for several weeks - then they are all gone
for another year. I would love to find a way to retain and enjoy them.
Thanks for any information you are willing to share,
