Another item which attracts the keen flower arranger during Autumn andWinter is the dried Hydrangea. These blooms should be left growing untilthey are fading or past their best. The colour then begins to turn and if they are cut at this stage and placed in about an inch of water, they will slowlydry out as they become deprived of nourishment. Not all Hydrangeas dryalike, so it is as well to attempt a number in order to vary the colouring.These blooms also dry well when hung upside down, but do make sure theyare past maturity before picking and not as with flowers of the Delphiniumfamily which are picked for drying before maturity.Skeletonizing |
