Preserving Calla Lilies?

Q. I know the different techniques for preserving flowers, but which method works best for calla lilies?

A. Calla Lilies are preserved best by freeze drying, which is the state of the art method for flower preservation. The flowers keep their natural shape and color. They look like fresh flowers.We mount them in a shadowbox which creates a beautiful keepsake which you'll be proud to display in your home. You might also consider a floral collage of calla lilies as a gift for someone special.

We have an example of a Shadow box including Calla Lilies.
