Do zinnias dry well?

Chef's answer
Many-petaled flowers such as zinnias and marigolds often dry best in a desiccant powder like silica gel. Lay the flower heads on a layer of desiccant, then sprinkle more powder over the flowers to cover. Timesaving Tip: Some annuals will dry perfectly when simply stuck in a bottle.
