Straight out of the silica sand and this is the moment I hold my breath. For two reasons; at this stage the flowers are at their most fragile, a wrong move and a petal can crumble. The other, they're just beautiful and I don't know what treasures will be unearthed.
But look at the 3D form and the colour. This is what makes silica gel preservation so good - see that tiny tulip? It looks exactly as it did when it went in. Some flowers just take to the sand perfectly and this one nailed it.
