    HOW special is it when the botanical art in your home comes from the flowers in your heirloom garden? Luckily, it can also be a simple process. Start by removing the flower heads from the plants. Pick the flowers in the late morning on a dry day. By 11 a.m., the dew on the plants will have evaporated, yet the afternoon sun won’t have had time to wilt the flowers.

    Pressing Instructions

    To press flowers, you’ll need:

    ■ Large, thick books

    ■ Sheets of printer paper

    ■ Heirloom flowers*
