There are certain flowers that do not press well using traditional pressing methods. These flowers include calla lilies, dahlias, roses, lilies, white lisianthus, mums, chrysanthemums, anthurium, tulips, white orchids, and some tropical varieties.
Calla lilies, with their thick and fleshy stems, tend to flatten and lose their shape when pressed. Their unique trumpet-shaped blooms also do not retain their form well during the pressing process.
Dahlias, known for their large and intricate blooms, often become distorted and lose their vibrant colors when pressed. The delicate petals of dahlias are prone to becoming wrinkled and damaged during the pressing process.
Roses, with their soft and delicate petals, can also be challenging to press. The petals of roses tend to lose their shape and become brittle when pressed, resulting in a less visually appealing final product.

White orchids, although stunningly beautiful, are not suitable for pressing. The thin and delicate petals of orchids tend to become translucent and lose their vibrancy when pressed.
Additionally, some tropical flower varieties may not press well due to their unique shapes, textures, and moisture content. These flowers often have thick and fleshy stems and vibrant, intricate blooms that do not retain their form and color when pressed.
