What method of leaf preservation is best for retaining color?

Asked by Beta_Orionis (3410points) October 3rd, 2009

It’s Autumn here in PGH and many leaves have changes or are in that interesting mid-change phase. I want to save all the pretty leaves! Okay, admittedly not all of them, but a fair amount!

- Have you tried the Glycerin (submersion or stem absorption) or wax-paper methods?

- Which has produced better results in terms of color preservation?

- For either of these methods, what experience-informed tips do you have for most success?
