Flowers with naturally flat blooms are the easiest to press, such as violets, daisies, and single-petal roses (many types of shrub roses are good choices).

Which flowers are best for pressed flowers?

The best flowers that will hold their shape and colour better for pressing include ones that are naturally flat and have single-layered petals. You can use zinnias, delphiniums, pansies, violas, daisies, geraniums, cosmos and other petite blooms.

Can you press any flowers?

Place the flower between two pieces of paper, and place them within the pages of the book. Depending on the size of the book, you can press multiple flowers at once. However, be sure to space them out so that the moisture from one flower doesn’t transfer to another.
