    Your limitations with this flower depend on how old the flower is already. There are 3 good options: 1. There are certain floral shops that have to ability to basically freeze the flower in the state that it is in. Though I use the word 'freeze' they do not actually freeze it but it will look the same as it does today for years and years. 2. You can have a floral shop replicate this flower. A good shop it able to make an identical replica of it. 3. Hang it upside down in a cool, dark, dry location and dry it. Though it will not look as pretty it will still be the original flower.

    These options (1-3) are in order of most expensive to least expensive which is one factor that you will have to consider.
