It’s very beautiful. How long have you been in the flower preservation business?
3 years.
During the years of flower preservation, you must try many brands of silica gel crystals. Why do you choose us at the end?
I like the color changing beads to help me recharge the beads and the packaging seals out the moisture and flowers turn out great from drying.
Can’t other brands of crystals do that?
Yes but I like how my flowers color turn out with wise dry product.
I see. Thank you so much for your love and support. Glad that our product can help you preserve better flowers.
Yes I love your product!
You must have preserved flowers with memories for many people during the years. Is there a story that leaves you with a strong impression?
I feel honored to be able to preserving a loved one’s flowers that passed away so they have a special memento to cherish. I also had a family have tears in their eyes as they were so happy I preserved their fathers funeral flowers as he passed missing in action and it was the last thing they had have him. The mother said it brought her comfort to have the flowers.
This and red rose in the sphere are the father.
