What ever flowers are your mother's favorite! The glass will keep the flowers pressed, the frame will have to be a special type for this type of arrangement.

If you don't do the special frame, then a spray adhesive will keep most flowers in place, but regular craft glue is fine! The flowers need to be pressed for some time before they are ready to be framed, so that choice is first. Good luck I'm sure she will love them!

This was shot in my wife's uncle's house in Markham, Canada during Chinese new year's day.

Not sure about the plant's name, but its mostly flat thick leaves coming out of the same point at the root level [almost desert plant types], but out of no where these lovely bright orange-red flowers sprung up.

Will appreciate if someone could educate me about these.
