Kuivattu kukkakimppu - Pink Strawflower

The pink strawflowers have held their color for three months on my windowsill and haven't shed a single petal. The mix of statice and avena gives it a nice wild, just-picked look instead of that stiff craft-store feel.

I was worried dried flowers would look dusty and fake, but the strawflowers have this papery texture that actually feels nice when you brush against them. It's been sitting on my dresser for a month and hasn't dropped a single petal. The statice adds a nice purple contrast too.

The arrangement looks even softer and more romantic in person than in the photos, with the strawflowers holding their shape beautifully. It's been sitting on my dining table for two weeks now and the mix of statice and avena still looks freshly placed, no shedding or drooping at all.
