ABSTRACT:
A method for freeze-drying flower arrangements whereby freshly cut flowers and foliage may be arranged and placed into a glass container with the arrangement subsequently dehydrated by a freeze-drying process. This process rapidly sets the arrangement such that wilting and distortion are minimized. Any color loss in the arrangement from the dehydration process is restored by spray tinting techniques. After the dehydration and tinting process, the container is sealed for protection from the ambiance. The method of the invention allows a floral arrangement to be dried as a whole, eliminating the delicate operation experienced when pre-dried flowers and foliage are used in assembling the dried arrangement.
