buying This is a framed real pressed flower art pressed botanical art herbarium of ‘Victoria Blue' Salvia, also known as Mealy Cup Sage. The frame is one of the sweetest I have come across. It is perfect for a pressed flower. It is a bronze colored oval metal, 7” tall, and hangs vertically with a chain. Blue Salvia is a spiked flower with loads of soft blue-gray florets punctuated with occasional bloomed out darker blue florets. It makes a beautiful pressed flower. This botanical is perfect for a gift for yourself (!) or others. Mother's Day is around the corner.
The Blue Salvia is mounted on white, cold press watercolor paper. I replace the regular frame glass with UV-protective conservation glass. Conservation glass shields pressed flowers from 99% of harmful UV rays that turn pressed flowers brown. I cannot stress strongly enough that conservation glass is critical when displaying pressed flowers.
The gold easel is not included.
Although treated against causes of degradation, real pressed botanicals remain delicate. It is strongly recommended that this botanical be displayed away from direct sunlight, strong artificial light and moisture.
