Second, it's a small amount of butter, usually formed or molded into some sort of shape, that you place at each table setting on the "butter pat" plate. Got it?

While I sowed that one flower in particular for pressing, I learned that other flowers in my summer flower garden also work well as pressed flowers. And once they bloomed I got to work.
