They are fairly small for sunflowers...

I think they are too beefy to press. You can press the petals, but I don't think it's possible to press the whole flower. I could be wrong though.

you may build a pad of absorbent textile so the face of the flower is saved flat. be beneficial to function a cardboard ventilator below the backside pad of of newspaper to motivate good airflow. according to hazard you could shape some styrofoam packing textile to compress the stalk and receptacle. yet differently is to get silica gel in bulk. place a layer interior the backside of a field sufficiently vast to hold the sunflower head (inflorescence). organize the petals gently, Bury the completed flower head with silica gel and place in a heat, dry section. it may take each and every week or extra to eliminate each and every of the moisture from the systems.

It will be almost impossible to press sunflowers, they are way to fleshy and thick!
