What are forever flowers?

Forever flowers, also called preserved or eternal flowers, are real flowers (often roses) that undergo a special preservation process, removing moisture and replacing it with a non-toxic solution (like glycerin and dyes) to maintain their fresh look, color, and texture for months to years, requiring no water or sunlight, unlike fresh cut flowers. They offer a long-lasting, low-maintenance alternative to traditional bouquets, often presented in domes or boxes for home decor or gifts.
