The Pressed Flowers that I had placed in the car boot

Last year I had intended to mail one of my pressed flowers arrangement to my daughter in the United Sates. Unfortunately, I decided not to because of the high cost of postage.
The pressed flowers arrangement was laminated and placed in a frame. To mail it I had securely padded and wrapped it in a box using tapes and a string.
I had actually forgotten that I had placed it in the boot of my car until my daughter  had graduated recently. It had actually been in the boot  for six months!!
When my daughter opened the package last week, I was relieved that the flowers and the leaves were still as good as new. Even the colourrs have not faded.

I was glad that even though I had parked my car in the open sun, exposed to the high tropical heat my pressed flowers arrangement were still intact and looked fabulous.

 Have a look at the actual pressed flowers in frame that I had left in the car  boot for more than six months .(of course I placed it securely wrapped in a box).
