This came in the email. I won't do it, but it seems like a good idea in the abstract. How to Preserve Fall Foliage I receive a number of requests every year at this time, asking for a method for preserving the resplendent rich orange and red leaves found on maple and other trees. My mother had a trick she used to accomplish preserving fall foliage colors, and I have since seen this technique suggested in old folk formula books. All you need is a little bit of vegetable glycerin (available in health food stores), water, and newly cut branches with colorful leaves. Just put about 1/2 a teaspoon into a vase full of water, stir, and then add the branches. With this, the leaves stay on the branches and keep their color for weeks. Refresh the water and glycerin every week.
