Category: Pressed Plants

Here is a bonus picture of my at home plant press because I am very proud of it! I used my old middle school yearbooks on the outside, cardboard to separate the layers, and newspaper to cover the samples, with belts holding it all together.

Here are my pressed plants. I used a plant press kit from Walmart and allowed them to be pressed for 3 days.

For this assignment, I chose to press a raspberry plant (leaves, small stem, and flowers), Field Horsetail (entire aboveground) structure, and Tall Bluebells (section of stem, leaves, and flowers). All were collected in Anchorage, Alaska, and all species are native to the area.
