Dried daisy - Black Saturday

The dread hell passed, the ruined world grew still,
And the great city passed to nothingness:
The ages went and mankind worked its will.
Then men stood still amid the centuries' press,
And in the ash-hid ruins opened bare,
As she lay down in her shamed loveliness,
Sculptured and frozen, late they found her there,
Image of love 'mid all that hideousness.

Excerpt - Out of Pompeii {William Wilfred Campbell}

This daisy along with the entire bush of flowers dried on the bush on Black Saturday.
They fascinated me because I have never see dried flowers like that on the bush. It reminded me of pompeii and how from that day images were in some way preserved as a visual reminder of what happend.,

My great grandmother pressed these mountain flowers when she was young. They are amazingly soft and beautiful but I have no idea how to preserve what is left of them. Any ideas?

They are on the same black velvety board they came on (afraid to take them off) and I keep them out of the light. I know they can't last forever...
