hello everyone. i joined this board because i've been trying to figure out how to preserve orchids in resin for about a year now. this thread popped up in one of my numerous google searches.

tindo, is the cereus taken out of the liquid and "still around" or is it preserved in liquid only?

your recipe is most informative and the cheapest one i've found so far- i just want to be sure it's going to achieve the results i'm wanting before i invest in the chemicals.

thanks so much.

cheers, anna

Hi Anna, Welcome to the Orchid Board. I have not touched the flower, and is preserved in liquid. Still around.
