Unique Bouquet
- Martha Stewart has a unique idea among her articles. A Pressed Bouquet is really a set of flowers that is compressed to be flat. Usually you do something like that in the back of your wedding book. It's something that is frequently done with corsages from Prom or other memorable formal events.

The 2006 Perennial Plant of the Year
- 'Firewitch' brings beauty, fragrance to your garden'Firewitch' (Dianthus gratianopolitanus) gets the recognition because of its long-lasting, fragrant, magenta flowers and the blue-green foliage, which is evergreen.Dianthus is a large group of plants, which can be annuals (such as the Parfait series or 'Corona Cherry'), biennials (sweet William) and perennials. Probably the most well-known dianthus is the carnation, a weak-stemmed perennial.If there's a common trait across the species, it's fragrance. Another attractive trait for many dianthus is blue-green foliage that is very cold-tolerant or evergreen.'Firewitch' is in the "pinks" category of dianthus, which is sometimes called Cheddar pinks. Cheddar is an area of England where this dianthus comes from, and pinks refers to the flowers, which look like they've been trimmed with pinking shears.'Firewitch' blooms for six to eight weeks in spring and early summer, making it a good companion for late-blooming spring bulbs. After each flush of flowers, cut off dead blooms and the plant will likely rebloom throughout summer. The plant looks good through winter with its beautiful, blue-green, mat foliage.Dianthus does best in full sun and loose, well-drained soil. It can go more on the dry side; wet soil may cause the plant to rot. 'Firewitch' gets about 8 inches tall with a 12- to 15-inch spread. Be prepared, though, because it may spread even wider.'Bath's Pink', which is similar to 'Firewitch', easily spreads to 30 inches.Once established, fertilizer usually isn't necessary. Dusting the soil or ringing the plants with compost in fall or spring is about all that's needed.'Firewitch' is easy to divide. Just chop off a clump and transplant. Although it's always recommended to prepare the soil for transplants, I've had dianthus take hold when just placed on the soil.Dianthus shines in the front of the bed, in rock gardens and in troubling spots. It can take a footstep or two, but not high traffic. Source of the article.

Flower Drying Tips
- Air Drying FlowersTo air dry flowers cut them when the dew is gone, tying several stems together with string or pipe cleaner after the leaves are removed, and hanging in a cool, dry, dark, well-ventilated place. An attic, closet or pantry is a good place to hang flowers for drying. Drying time will vary; check how they feel after a week or so. When they feel crisp, take them down and store in boxes or paper bags. Annuals like zinnias and marigolds are easily dried. Also, look for transplants of everlasting flowers like Strawflower, Globe Amaranth, Cockscomb, and Baby's Breath.Drying Flowers Using Silica GelOther flowers may require a drying agent such as silica gel. This is commercially available and sold under several different trade names at garden centers. Fill the bottom of a flat dish 1 inch of silica gel. Put in the flowers. Flat flowers like daisies or pansies are usually best placed face down. Most of the flowers with many petals like zinnias, marigolds, calendulas, mums, and aster do better facing up. Flowers like snapdragons and scarlet sage are placed horizontally. Carefully add more drying agent until the flowers are completely covered. Check in a couple days. Dry petals will feel like paper. Store in boxes with a little silica gel to absorb moisture in the air. Microwave DryingThe drying agent process can be speeded up with the microwave oven. Prepare a few flowers at a time in a small dish. Put this in the microwave along with a cup of water. "Cook" on medium for 10 seconds to 3 minutes, depending on the thickness of the flower. You must experiment with timing because conditions are so variable. After microwaving, leave in the drying agent for a few hours up to a day or so. Pressing FlowersFlowers with flat faces like pansies, petunias, violas, and daisies are good to press. Place 3 flowers between sheets of blotting paper and put in a flower press or weight down with bricks or books. Check them after a week for dryness. Finishing Your FlowersAfter you've dried your flowers, put a strand of No. 2 florist's wire through each flower's head, securing the wire by bending it into a hood at the flower-head end. The final step is to wrap all wire with green floral tape.
