Thanks you both. I used "Microfleur" flower drier (you can Google it). Instead of weeks, you can not only dry flowers in minutes, but the colours remain ever so much truer and remain so. You can achieve "painterly" effects as in this example, and I can't wait to experiment further.

All the best,

Little seasoning they'll probably taste quite nice! Job done I would say!
