To preserve flowers ( 6 ) and provide aromatherapy, low temperature paraffin ( 1 ) is heated ( 2 ) to a liquid state of approximately 130 degrees Fahrenheit. A floral nutrient and preservative ( 3 ) such as a saccharide such as sugar is then added to the low temperature paraffin ( 1 ). Optionally, scents ( 4 ) and/or color dyes ( 5 ) are also added. The heads of flowers ( 6 ) to be preserved are then dipped ( 7 ) in this paraffin mixture for one to three seconds and thereafter allowed to dry. The flower ( 6 ) can then be used immediately, or optionally hung ( 8 ) upside down for one to three weeks prior to use to further improve shelf life. The flower ( 6 ) can further be sprayed with a floral spray paint ( 9 ).
