I've never owned a flower-press before! I recently attempted to press and dry some roses given to me by a loved one, and it failed miserably! I'm not certain what I did wrong, since I had researched it before, but perhaps using a flower-press would have been better. My e-mail: violetbark AT hotmail DOT com.
