What’s Freeze Drying, Anyway?

Freeze drying might sound a bit high-tech, but it’s actually been around since 1813! Fast forward to the late 1980s, and people started realizing how amazing freeze-dried flowers could be—long-lasting and beautiful. We got in on the action in 1988 with our first business and then launched Flyboy Naturals in 1992.

From Farm to Petal

We grow millions of flowers on our Oregon farm just for our petals—rose, hydrangea, peony, lilac—you name it! After carefully hand-harvesting, we de-petal each bloom with a gentle touch to keep them perfect. Then, the petals go into our freeze-dry machines, where the magic happens!

The Cool Science Part

Freeze drying works by freezing the petals at super low temps (around -20°F) and using a vacuum to remove moisture as vapor. The whole process takes about 14 days, but the result? Petals that look freshly picked and last for months—even years! Plus, we’ve learned over 33 years which flowers hold up best, keeping their shape, size, and color just right.

Why Choose Freeze-Dried Petals?

Our petals aren’t just gorgeous—they’re practical too. They don’t stain, aren’t slippery, and are totally eco-friendly, biodegradable, and natural. Perfect for weddings, romantic gestures, celebrations, and more. Plus, no worries about messy cleanup or damage to linens, dresses, or floors!

1. Are Flyboy Naturals Eco-Friendly Freeze Dried Petals safe outdoors?  Flyboy Naturals Rose Petals are all natural, non-staining, not slippery, bio-degradable. Our petals are not harmful to the environment.

2. How long will the petals last? Given the proper care, storing the petals in a cool, dry & dark place they can last for many months or more. A dark bedroom closet works great!

3. Do I need to store the petals in a refrigerator or freezer? Optimal conditions for storage are cool, dry, dark places (closet, office) until ready to use. Avoid high heat and humidity. Do not refrigerate or freeze. Ideal conditions for long-term storage of petals are 65-80° F, 30-35% humidity.

4. Do freeze dried petals look crinkled & dry? Flyboy Naturals Rose Petals look almost the same as fresh. Freeze drying our freshly harvested rose petals, hydrangea petals, peony petals preserves them so the petals hold their shape, size & color....even the fragrance if they are fragrant to begin with.  We do not enhance the fragrance or the color...they are 100% natural.

In fact, we are the only company that many historical venues, museums & galleries will allow to provide rose petals.

There is no law that says that if a vendor changes a product, design, or pattern by a certain percentage, be it 10%, 20%, 50%, or 90%, it is okay to copy it. If a vendor changes a product, design, or pattern by a certain percentage, the vendor, and its customers in the United States, can still face legal action for intellectual property infringement, including for the portion of the product, design, or pattern that is not changed.

Vendors who copy products, designs, or patterns can be damaged in many ways. First, the vendor's customers in the United States can face legal action in the United States for the vendor's infringement. When this happens, the customer may demand reimbursement from the vendor or stop doing business with the vendor. This can damage the vendor's reputation. Also, the courts in countries outside the United States are making it easier for owners to take legal action against vendors in their home countries. Finally, the government in the vendor's home country may punish vendors that copy another company's products, designs, or patterns, especially if the United States government complains.
