Dear All,
Aoa,
I am a paper maker by profession and in constant need of different fibrous plants and flowers for my papers.
I'd appreciate if any one here can help me find flowers which are easily available or I can grow at home for this purpose.
Something that doesn't fade out with the passage of time.I've worked with rose petals and bougainvillea leaves but both tend to bleed chlorophyll when submerged in wet pulp.
Looking forward to a discussion regarding this.
Thankyou
