Flowers and plants have always been key features in decoration, medicine, and ritual. Since ancient times, many cultures have shared the idea of making plants last longer than they naturally would. One way to achieve this is by drying the plants and flowers. Once dried, they can be preserved for longer periods or saved for future use.
