recylcing old flowers

I always feel guilty throwing out flowers .
I grew up with fresh flowers throughout my house , 
& I now find that nothing makes me more happy
than having flowers in my apartment similar to how my mom has consistently 
kept her house filled with them .

along with the great feeling of buying beautiful flowers ( or having them given to you ) 
comes the sad feeling when the petals start to wilt , begin to fall off , & you know their time is done .
in order to lengthen the life of my flowers , I decided to hang dry these peonies that were this close to going
into the trash . 





in 2 - 3 weeks , I'm hoping they come out like this :
