Cindi, water drying means to put the cut bloom into a glass about half full of water, and just let the water evaporate. Don't add more water and leave the bloom alone. It usually retains its color and just simply dries out, just like it is.
Works best to pick them in fullest bloom. Really simple. Just put them in a vase of water and let the water go away. The blooms might fade slightly but not much.
I just lay them around on shelves or put them in a dry vase for decorating. They get a little brittle as they dry, so I don't like to manipulate them very much.
