I'd love to see an article about drying and pressing flowers.

I have a Flower Press that a friend gave me. She's a retired elementary school teacher and years ago her husband made a bunch of flower presses out of wood that they she stained and then decopauged flowers on the front board. She had one remaining flower press that she was going to throw out and asked me if I wanted it. I pressed a few blooms but some were the types of flowers that had too much moisture and they didn't work well at all. I pressed some Maidenhair fern that really did well. I have the problem too of wondering what to do with flowers after drying them! I thought about matting and framing a few but my attention span is so short anymore that I know I'll never get around to it. Green Grin!
