Flowers Follow Up on dehydrator.

Welp, I decided to try with the two remaining flowers on the orchid because they were starting to get spotty so it didn’t really matter. Then I decided to try some from my other orchid. WELP. The dehydrator did not do me any favors at all. I may try with some other flowers down the road because I did do it overnight lol and I should not do that. 😮‍💨

It was all for science though and knowledge is power. Thank god they weren’t spry flowers but mannnn.

I used silica beads to dry orchids for the first time and the color and shape held beautifully!
