nice colour Sandra - I sometimes press a few flowers and stick them in a book- its good to look at in the winter months when the garden is bare.
I press the flowers in a few sheets of tissue paper sandwiched between the pages of another book, which I then clamp in my vise. I put them on pages 50, 100, 150 etc as then I know where to find them again -lol

thanx richard and nice to press them, a good idea but dont have a vice, well i dont think we have, will ask baz :o) page numbers lol

You don't really need a vise Sandra you can put the flowers in the pages of a book, sandwiched with tissue paper, lay the book flat and put a weight on top of the book -it will work just as good.

that's great Sandra -will you have any flowers in your garden thro the winter time?
6 Sep, 2009
not sure richard, im not up on winter flowers, but im sure i will find something i like :o)) got some bulbs to plant into pots soon ready for spring, maybe some pansys and primulars they always look colourfull dont they,how about you?
6 Sep, 2009
I had some hyacinth bulbs last year with specially shaped bottles to keep them in-perhaps you know them. Well I kept them in the shed on the window sill and one night all of the bottles broke - every one it was when we had a heavy frost.I can't even remember where I put the bulbs now I expect I'll find them next spring lol
6 Sep, 2009
yes i know them richard, the glass isnt very thick is it,, i do like them so thats an idea thanx ,im sure they will pop up somewhere lol
6 Sep, 2009
the glass on them was very thin I expect they cracked when the water froze. I'll have to remember that one if I ever buy some more. I made some before from a clear plastic bottle. If you cut the top off the bottle and turn it upside down its just the right shape to hold a hyacinth bulb, then you can put that into the bottom part of the bottle ( ie cut off the bottom few inches of the bottle to rest it in) thrifty eh Sandra lol?
6 Sep, 2009
lol good thinking richard, well i will be using our spare room for over wintering plants just incase of frosts, but i have to remember not to have the heat on as hot in there , infact probably enough warmth from other rooms to keep that just right
6 Sep, 2009
yes I expect there must be Sandra :-)
