A bouquet of dried flowers in a pretty vase is an easy gift. You can also use dried flowers adorn a grape vine wreath base. My favorite flowers to dry are tall ageratum, amaranth, celosia, hydrangea, lavender, ornamental oregano, salvia, strawflower and yarrow.
These flowers have strong stems and dry quickly. Just strip off the leaves, gather the stems into small bunches with rubber bands and hang them upside down in a warm, dry, dark place.
