I have to mention after night in the refrigerator habanero flowers are much more fragile. Great idea to make extra flowers, so if the petals break in one flower you can use spare flowers instead. Habanero flower garnish really pretty as a food decor but very spicy!

Pepper flowers we can make 2-3 days in advance. Place in water and wait when open up to shape you like. Then cover with a wet paper towel and place in an airtight plastic bag. The photo below sweet pepper flowers after 2 days.

My advice is any garnish needs to try out before an important event if you didn’t make it before. Make a test before the event and you will be stress-free. To make sure how you like and get a feel for how it will be looking at the event. Of course, make a few extra flowers just in case some flowers will be broken in the process of serving.

Don’t leave flowers in the water! If we leave them in water they became fragile and open too much. I have 2 photos on the page of flowers the next day I kept in the water. The first is a bell pepper photo just above the video. The flower almost looks flat, still beautiful. The second photo is habanero pepper flowers on the bottom. Pretty but looks again flat to me.
