About the Founder & CEO
Prof. Dr. Mahalakshmi V. Reddy, an interior designer turned flower preservation scientist, brings together her expertise in design and a deep reverence for the emotions flowers evoke. Her journey to create “eternal flowers” stems from a passion nurtured over two decades of research and laboratory studies. Driven by curiosity, she experimented with various preservation methods until she achieved a breakthrough in 2015 with the technique of Lyophilization, or freeze-drying, to preserve flowers.
Dr. Reddy’s story doesn’t end there. After her retirement in 2016, her fascination with flowers took on a new life. She transformed her basement into a small-scale, hobby-based enterprise, dedicated to bringing the timeless beauty of preserved flowers to friends and family. By perfecting a technique that retains flowers’ natural look and meeting the desire for enduring floral memories, she now successfully manages her enterprise and eagerly shares her knowledge with the next generation
Her recently released memoir- “Eternal Petals – The Journey of Scientist to an Entrepreneur” is a testament to her life’s work, serving as inspiration for young minds to think beyond the ordinary. Dr. Reddy dreams of training enthusiastic flower lovers, passing on her expertise, and spreading the joy of flower preservation far and wide. One can explore this book in the Amazon online store –

Yes, we do. Resin encapsulation is a technique for preserving flowers by encasing them in epoxy resin. It produces a strong final product.
Freeze-drying preserves flowers by removing moisture, maintaining their natural texture and color, but making them fragile. In contrast, resin encapsulation involves suspending flowers in a clear resin, protecting them from damage and enhancing their appearance. While freeze-drying preserves flowers in their natural state, resin encapsulation adds a durable, glossy finish, making the flowers last indefinitely.
