I thought what auntie did by preserving the flowers given by her niece is an act of kindness--meaning she appreciates her niece's gift and that she wanted to cherish it by pressing the flowers as an ornament to look at.
Though the niece said something like 'bad taste' is not something I could comprehend.. until someone commented about it.
However, I still consider what the aunt did to the flowers an act of cherish.
