Dried plants

No two days are the same for floral artist Antonia de Vere, who, with her husband, comprise the creative duo Mark Antonia.

Fast-growing, Honesty (Lunaria annua) or Silver Dollar or Money Plant is a very interesting biennial with its heads of 4-petaled flowers, deep purple to white, blooming in mid-late spring to early summer. These are beautifully replaced in midsummer by translucent, round, flat seed pods looking like silvery coins!

Preserving and drying flowers is a craft that has been honed over the ages. Hang drying and air drying are more time-honored, traditional methods of this craft. However, technology has led to the use of microwaves, ovens, and chemicals such as silica gel in the drying process.
